Professor Huffaker was a very interesting professor for EE161. To be frank, she knows pretty much nothing about EM theory; thus, she does nothing more than copy from the text. Heck, she even fumbles when shes copying from the book! The qtr I took her (SP-08), she missed at least 8 class sessions, forcing the TA to do the teaching. All in all, NOT a good prof for ee161. But I must say, it feels great when you are more knowledgeable than the classes' professor.

The biggest thing about Professor Wang is that many of his exam questions are recycled so if you have access to the old exam questions you are set. At the same time, I really wish he would stop doing this because it is enraging to be edged out of 'A' range on the class scale by the likes of the mouth breathing whale girl with the intelligence of a peanut who sits in the front row. Professor Wang's lectures are okay and enjoyable, as are his subtle (and super corny) jokes, but sometimes it feels like he goes very slowly for the first half of class then after the break he blazes through more than half of the lecture slides. I feel like he does an acceptable job for teaching such a difficult subject in EE, and if you do study hard at it you can still do well in the class (something like top 30% A's, next 50% B's he said). The textbook is decently clear although on occasion not as in depth as other EE textbook, but overall okay. My TA for the quarter was Tim Brockett and he was a pretty chill dude. His discussions were super organized and he'll definitely help you out on homework questions in OH, discussion, or in e-mails, so big thumbs up there. I have heard good things about Umar as well, so maybe both TAs are ballers, who knows.
