Well, well. Abidi lives on. I took his electronics class 25 years ago, and amazingly got an A. This is in the bad old days when there were many classes in college that, if no one was good enough, well, no A's would be given. I was impressed with how he worked through his lectures and - sorry to say - his fame in the field. It's useful to see him go through an electronics circuit. However, getting to know him personally, I found the man spiteful, dark and evil to a degree. He simply hates students bar the obsequious, and I wager that extends to humanity beyond. What does that have to do with a review of teaching, you would ask? Here's the deal. The guy so turned me off, and everyone else in his lab like him, that I completely shut off on electronics and changed careers. No loss to myself or humanity; still made the mills and had a royal time at it, in a different arena than electronics. You can mercifully learn anything you want today on youtube without enduring characters like this bizarre man. Get away from cases like his. There are a hundred better lecturers out there accessible with a swipe of a smartphone that will inspire you and hand you their many gifts. This one has a few, but they come laced with the poison of a contrived, self-aggrandizing being full of himself, and full of, yup, you guessed it, a pile of that cow stuff.
