Comment:

His lectures are hard to comprehend. You must be willing to read the book and watch videos to understand the concepts. His HW are unnecessary, just copy them, but understand a few. His exams are doable, study the past and know the concepts. Easy Subject in General Communication. I think Electronics & Signal Processing are tough. Keep Studying!

Gives boring lectures that dont really help. If you know Fourier you should be ok. Test 1 - OK, test 2 - BRUTAL, Final - ok. Exams are pretty bad. No one actually does well but the curve is insane

Not good in teaching. Book won't help much, you will have study from the lecture. If you get average or above average in the exams you will be fine. This guy doesn't care about students. but he curves at the end.

Comment:

Exams are very tough but his curve is awesome! Notes help you understand where formulas come from. However, for exams, make sure you write down the final form of the formulas in your cheat sheet. Knowing trig really helps especially for the first 2 exams. Overall, possible to do well if genuine effort is applied.

Comment:

Prof. Sun is not the right choice if you are not going to really participate. You need to read the materials in advance, prepare for pop quiz and do the homework for a good understanding of the whole thing. It is easy to get A since he curved a lot. But you will get TOTALLY LOST if you are not to spend time on the course. A cool and kind Professor

Overall, OK professor. His main deficiency is he doesn't provide a lot of examples to clarify the material. The textbook is literally the worst book I've ever read in my life. Thankfully, the bulk of his exams come from the notes. HW is copy+paste. Depending on the class average, curve can be legendary. Summary: better than average EE professor.

Comment:

overall the material is great but unfortunately this guy does not have the ability to provide an example and clarification to the class. Hw is copy and paste which he will provide to you and during the exam he doesn't care whether you're cheating or not as long as your near the average or above the average you'll be guaranteed an B past exams need

Comment:

Very ambiguous grading and takes off points like crazy on exams. Spits formulas on the board with little to no explanation. Can't clearly answers questions and responds with "you should know this from a past course" but almost no one knows. Make sure to copy down the final forms of formulas and try to get past exams to practice b/c he's useless.

Comment:

people say its hard to understand him , but for me it seemed like he was clear. Make sure you attend everyclass because if you miss one lecture u will be behind. His lecture notes matter because many stuff on the exam are from his notes. He also carves alot so make sure you do above average and try to do the home works on your own

Comment:

A very poor professor. All he does is throw formulas on the board. He will brush questions off to the side because he has no interest in engaging with students. Exams are very tough, but he puts his head down and does not care if half of the class cheats. Overall, quite a shame since the material is very interesting.

Comment:

Soft speaker. Has a distinct Chinese accent, so slightly more difficult to understand. Ask a question and he will answer it. Teaches by the textbook but is very knowledgeable on the topic. Homeworks are difficult but prepare you for tests. Tests are mixed. Grades tests and homeworks in a very timely manner. No late homework accepted. No calculator.

I took his graduate digital communication systems course. He's a hard professor without a doubt, but he tosses in little jokes, which i enjoyed. you MUST do homework to understand the class. he's very friendly and approachable. he does give BIG curves as well for final grades.

Comment:

Prof. Sun is not a great teacher but he leans towards the better side of profs when compared to others in the department. He gives many pop quizzes in the class that can come at any time, but even if you do bad on the quizzes you can still ace the class by doing well on the final. Do the hw cause that's the best way to learn the material.

Decent professor. You will think you don't know squat based on the quizzes (pop quizzes, by the way). Study hard for the final and do the homework. The material might seem hard in the beginning, but it really isn't.

Comment:

I don't know how the E.E. Department allows this kind of professor to get tenure. He barely speaks English. His lectures are so boring and useless that he now has to do pop quizzes just to make sure that people come to the class. He also is not fare grading. It?s a shame that people like him teach mandatory courses in the curriculum

Comment:

The class itself is interesting, but Sun makes the class a little bit boring. Generally, he's grading is fair to what you have done. Sometimes he likes to give tricky quizzes to let you guys down, also he likes to raise some questions, but he never gives you back the answer, which will make you feel suspended to the answer.

Comment:

This guy is awful. He was bad for EE 312, and he's even worse for this class. He now uses quizzes to see if anyone is paying attention, or at least, showing up to class. My biggest peeve: he issues a final for the last day of class instead of during the scheduled exam date. It's unfair, because you can't finish a final in 1:15. What a jerk!
