I took EE 170A (Principles of Photonics) and 170B (Photonic Devices) with Professor Liu. He is an expert in his research field, and any serious Photonics student should take his classes. Be prepared to work hard. Even if you do not plan to build a career in photonics, any Physics/EE student will benefit from his classes. Even the Software guys, as a solid understanding of what forms the backbone of the internet will only help you.

Cons: Facts about this oldfart: - Goes off on tangent about 90% of the time - Loves talking about his experience at Hughes Research Laboratory - Treats his TAs like his pets (or at least they behave like pets) - Stresses on participation especially in lab classes (I guess he gets lonely or something when students don't show up) - Easy grader - Does not write down equations and does not derive them for you so you better develop a mental map for his clueless equations - Prepare to waste time - Does not care if you need to skip out of lab classes because you have important things going on (like interviews) About EE 173D - Too many people crowding around each station and each equipment - There are three grading criteria: report, presentation, and participation (each worth 33%) - The participation is out of 8 even though it says 10 on EE web, he gives the extra two points out for people who participate 100% of the time (or who's his pet) - Since there are about 6 people to a group with one equipment, not every student gets to use the equipment - The experiment itself is unclear, boring, and meaningless - Again, you better make sure you show up to every class because someone might get lonely. Pros: - The last guy in the class gets B
