-Dr.Briggs is by a long-shot the nicest professor and perhaps teacher I've had in my entire life.
-This class was a lot of fun and the projects are very well designed
-the first quarter consists of a few lectures and guided projects while the second quarter is a 2-3 person independently chosen group project focused on DSP, embedded systems, or ML
-I do wish he lectured more the first quarter
-Admittedly it seems his expertise is more focused on circuits/power systems than DSP and ML but he's still reasonably knowledgeable
An extremely caring professor that will go out of his way to make sure you can complete the given task. Now in terms of the task, thats a different story.
Major props to Briggs for opening the lab up a million times so we'd have no excuse to not be done with our project. Not major props to him for leaving us in the dry to figure out a million things on our own. After about 4 sessions (at most 15 hours) dealing with assembly, we had to jump head first into our project. Yes we had 2 quizzes to test our understanding, but even the mediocre grades didn't keep him from continuing progress. I will give him some appreciation though, he really would stick it out when you had an issue and try to help you figure it out. I just wished he was more familiar with the DSP so that solving the problem didn't take 4 effin hours.
In the end, the final project presentation and demo is really what will earn your grade here. Luckily, thats the only thing I really cared about and really pushed to show my understanding and expertise of. Plus I think he may be a pity/lenient grader. Wear some nice clothes when you do it, always helps. He's rather sharp looking himself.
Overall grade: A
Extra time spent in the lab each week: ~4 hours
