Comment:
While Professor Acton is a nice guy, the class is a joke. What he teaches out of his modules never shows how it really relates to labs and what's on the test. The grader's for this class are tough too. You either got all points or lost 6, no partial credit. You always want to attend the class before the test, always. But not an amazing class, sad.

Comment:
Prof Acton is great! Sometimes lectures will feel disconnected, but just ask him or the TAs for clarification, and you'll be good. If you hated signals and systems, DSP is a good chance to actually learn all the material you should have gotten out of S&S, and then some. If you turn in all the assignments, you are almost guaranteed at least a "B".

The classwork, homework, and tests were all disconnected. They all covered different material, and the professor just made his TAs do all the work.

Acton was awesome. He covers a wide range of material and weaves hilarious stories and comments in the whole way through. He is the reason I became an electrical engineer. Plus the bow ties are hot

The class is fairly easy, but I still learned a lot of new information from it. Acton is a fun guy who seems to enjoy teaching. In the class you will learn many interesting things about technology we use every day.

Acton's an awesome professor & a nice guy. Enthusiastic, hilarious and very helpful. Do your hw, go to class and you'll be fine. Office hrs help a lot. Class was almost two hours, but Acton did a good job of keeping it interesting although he moves around a lot when he lectures. Acton is one of the professors who makes you want to stay in e-school!

Acton is hilarious. Rambles, but makes it as fun as it can be. For 2nd yr eschooler it was easy as anything too. Wish I'd taken it first year, has lots of useful content. Best 'science' elective ever!

Acton is awesome. He's funny and very entertaining, and also cares about class and the students. Some of the material is boring at times, but it's e-school so what do you expect... I recommend this class because Acton is a cool guy.

Animated, and happy to be teaching. He taught from his own book (xerox's of the notes), so you could just pay attention in class and be fine. ECE 200 was an easy class, and I actually stopped showing up halfway through the semester despite it being my favorite class (too early for me...)

He is funny and the class is easy and relaxing. He always starts the class with music. Even bought us bagels and coffee to enjoy in class once.

Man this guy is cool. But for shizzle, ECE 200 is whack. Stay the hell away cuz you'll just come out scratching your noggin. But yeah, he's a good teacher. It's just that what he teaches is some bullll shiet. Try to catch him in another ECE class.

Funny, very interesting, lets you take cheat sheets to tests, which makes sense, because in the real world you'll have reference books when you're tackling a problem. Also, course material is very practical.
