Fall 2019 - Very engaging lectures. Prof. Abidi explains the material with tons of passion and got me excited about circuits. He emphasizes approaching the problem and thinking about circuits correctly. His midterm had a very high average, but the test definitely makes you think and teaches you. Since some of his work is in coupled inductors, he emphasizes ideal/nonideal transformers, which I don't think you will get in any other class. Though he can seem a bit intimidating, he bears a wealth of knowledge that he is willing to share. His 11L lab section lectures are also amazing. The final is pretty difficult, since he probes deeper to see what you know. He grades everything by himself, and grades based upon what your thinking is.

Fall 2024 - The lectures are well structured, interesting and provide solid intuition of circuits as a foundational class. I enjoyed the small class size as it facilitated interactive learning and made it easy to approach Prof Darabi with questions. I appreciated that the honors content was optional, as it was enriching to learn extra content without having to stress over mastering it for the homework and tests.
