Comment:

Super Hard grader. The pop quizzes are worth most of your final grade. At least telling students about the quizzes even one day beforehand will help. There was a pandemic going on, and I felt like the guidelines were so harsh considering the state of mind so many people were in. He doesn't think about the students and doesnt grade fairly. UGHHHH

1. 20+ pages per elementary report, any less than that forget about getting above 80 and that's if he doesn't take off 20 points for nth like he always does. 2. Impolite, no professional attitude. 3. the most useless prof ( not sure why he is called so ) in the whole school ( so far ) 4. this dude needs to chill, it's only 1credit. AVOID and REPORT

Comment:

Worst Professor I have ever had. For 1 credit lab, he makes you write 20+ lab reports or else you would pass an 80. Finds anyway to subtract points, gave me a 65 on a 50 page lab report , that took 7+ hours to write. Avoid him at all costs for any class

Hes a good professor, he doesnt mess around but if you tell him you're struggling he can help you. I showed this class the least amount of attention and showed up to class and the final was moderate

Idk how you do bad in this class. He literally puts how to write a lab report the first day. Do it his way. I did it,easily got to 20-30 pages. A lot of it can be just data from class, pictures,graphs. Show your report before handing it in to see if good. If you need help in lab just ask. Straight forward labs, just don't rush reading instructions

Comment:

The experiments are quite interesting and I enjoyed working on them. However, if you encounter some sort of issue, Prof Ho will be of ZERO help to you. I dont think he spoke more than three times the entire semester. Youll have fun working on his required 50 page lab reports - any less and he wont even consider giving you a grade above 80.

Comment:

All the stories about him are true as this was my most traumatic academic experience. I literally had to study every day, especially when he might spring a pop quiz on us. Lectures were hard to follow, since he went too fast when using powerpoint slides. His english is incomprehensible at times (achume?). Shockingly helpful during his office hours.

Well, this is the hardest course I ever took. The materials are not easy to absorb and Prof. Ho is tough grader as well (6069D,7079C, no curve ). As long as you show him you understand the material, he will forgive you. He want the students to ask questions and he is willing to help. 2.42,Maxwell,wave(chapter 7) will be 40% of the total grade.

This guy is the worst guy you can take for 330, he doesn't care about, and he thinks u're only taking 3 credits per semester because you have to constantly study for his pop quizzes. Avoid it at all cost. When I took this class he gave us the pop quizz in the second of class .... like seriously ? u have not time to warm up with him

Comment:

His English is beyond broken, so lectures are totally useless. Overemphasizes pop quizzes (50% of your grade!) and I feel he enjoys to hand out extremely low grades. His grading criteria is based on fluff - he wont be able to explain to you why he took off x points on a HW. Overall a truly awful experience and you will suffer all semester long.

Comment:

One of the hardest classes/prof in the EE cirriculum. You constantly need to study to prepare for a potential pop quiz (he once gave a quiz on the 2nd day of class). You must have old material in order to stand a chance. Teaches mainly via powerpoint slides, and therefore goes too fast. HW is worth only 10%, he takes off points based on "effort"

Comment:

Worst Professor I have ever had. I got an A- in his class but had to study every single day. After taking final, I couldn't sleep for 4 days until I received my grade because the final was so incredibly hard. Everyone came out of the final traumatized. Unfortunately, CCNY makes this course very hard to pass no matter which professor you take.

He doesn't use much words, leave the thinking to students to ask questions. quizzes and hws r pretty straight forward. Final is hard. Notes help but just to get brief idea. Requires large amount of time to do well in this class.

I loved this course, But prof is not easy. He takes points off. But the good part is that if you do good on final exam, he will grade you according to that.Irrespective of what you got in class pop quizzes.

Comment:

I loved this class, I love the theories he taught, In fact I still know them. I hate the fact that his Exams are THEORY BASED though. What good theories only for engineers. What good is to memorize with very little applications. Its easy to pass his class. But hard to get A because he takes of A LOT of points for little things. Like wrong sign, -20

Comment:

I don't think there is much to add about this professor: he sucks. Look in SH381. See the paint peeling from the walls? That's how boring he is. He wants you to memorize everything. Solving problems, not really. It seems the EE dept does not want engineers that can actually solve problems; only those that can spit out definitions like a robot.

You will not learn anything. Have to memorize a lot. Get an Iphone thats what most of the class did? I didnt do that otherwise I would also get a descent grade. You will cry and memories of class will not go away. You will regret but have no option. EE dept doesnt care about us they onlycare bout money. You be ready to kill your GPA.

Comment:

This guy is ok, resonpsible, but his exams are hard to predict,cuz his first exam was to remomorize the constants from the book! Stupid, Stupid, i failed that one. From my experience with him for a semester, he likes to test u the materials from his notes instead from the book, u really need to focus whatever he thinks it's important in his lecture
