He's not bad, not super though.
Concepts were explained decently although the points he missed were covered by this TA's. Exams were fair. Some homeworks were a little ridiculous on the algebra side.

The review below me is biased. This guy is one of the worst teachers I've had at UCLA. You can tell that he doesn't want to be teaching us lowly undergraduates. He comes late to class, and he has below average enthusiasm during his lectures and takes deep breaths because he doesn't want to be there, which was pretty childish of him. His exams are also a joke, and I have no idea how the averages are so low(MT and final at ~45%). The material is not that hard and "recipe-based", and his exams are straightforward, there are no tricks (except for the midterm where he put this one small question covering a topic we hadn't covered at the time). Thankfully, he puts his lecture notes online, so you can be saved from his crappy lectures, if you can call it that, and know what's going to be on the test. I stopped attending his lectures during 3rd week or so, but I still did well in the class. Why? Because I had a great textbook, and great TA's when I needed help. Do yourself a favor and don't take this guy. He never gives us any insight into a circuit beyond what is obvious. Don't get me wrong about his personality. He seems like a nice guy, but shit man, when you're paying an ever-increasing tuition, you would at least expect something back for it.

First things first, the man speaks fluent English, something I did not expect given his name and picture on Bruinwalk, so that was a huge plus.

The class itself was pretty fun. I really enjoyed the material so paying attention in class wasn't really an issue for me. The material builds off of EE10 heavily, so knowing the basics of circuit theory are very important.

The professor himself conveys the ideas of the class pretty well in lecture, although he can be a bit confusing at times. But that's forgivable since it was his first time teaching this class.

The TA's were awesome. Tim, the PhD student, was able to answer any and all questions we had. John, the Masters student was also a beast, but he wasn't your garden variety international student. No, the dude was a hipster. It was weird walking into the first discussion to see this English speaking guy that looked more like a Hot Topic employee than an EE TA. But the dude was pretty cool.

His exams were difficult, albeit fair. There was nothing on the exams that he didn't cover in class. And he posts his notes online so it's pretty easy to compare his notes with the book and see what you should focus on studying. If you paid attention in class and did the hw's, you will do well in his class.

About the professor himself, he is a great guy and in my opinion, a great professor. This sounds very cliche but he is one of the few professors I've had that cares heavily about student learning. Not only that, he is always enthusiastic and excited about teaching students, something that I'm hard pressed to see in most of my other professors. He never hesitates to answer questions or clear up any grey areas concerning the course material. Given the choice, I would definitely take him again.

Now, I realize my review may be skewed because I have already received my final grade. And while I did well, I learned to my dismay that many of my classmates did not. I have no idea how he distributes grades, but from what I've heard, it seems pretty damn harsh, which is something I didn't expect given his friendly attitude. Still, I'd take another class with him any day.

Prof Daneshrad is a really smart and nice guy. However, because he wasn't used to teaching EE110, the lectures weren't great. He is articulate, clear and has a refreshing voice, but his teaching is a little unclear. He did try his best to help us understand though, and sometimes goes off on useful tangents to make us understand what we can use the material for in our EE careers. Lecture maerial may get boring, but occassionally he will make positive comments to try to keep us motivated. Ultimately, I think hes a really great person.

You can probably get a decent grade without reading the books if you take good notes in class(not just copying it after its posted online). Its obvious that if you want a good grade you should take good notes AND fill in the gaps with the book, or other online resources.

The homework can get pretty difficult but office hours will help.

His tests are about the same difficulty as the homework problems, but very doable if you understand the material and study to have it fresh in your head. You get a cheat sheet for the exams.

Overall I definitely recommend him. Most things can be learned by going to lecture, but the book and online stuff will help too.
