Spring 2023 - I love this big beautiful sexy man. One of the best teachers I've ever had, and he taught a very sexy and interesting subject (wooo filters!). So insanely nice and kind and understanding and gives so much extra credit. I would love to take this class again (or any class with him in the future for that matter).

Fall 2023 - I thoroughly enjoyed this class, and Professor Darabi prepares you very well for Analog IC design. Class is split up w/ a 27.5% project, 27.5% midterm, 43% final, and 3% participation/survey. Homework is totally optional, but was very good practice for exam and project, with 2 written homeworks and 1 Cadence homework. The project is about designing a differential op-amp with certain gain, swing, and bandwidth requirements, and was overall relatively easy to complete, and gives good practice into using Cadence Virtuoso. The class lectures were very comprehensive and insightful, and Darabi did a good job answering questions and building intuition. The exams are not too bad, and he still curves very well regardless. The TA Somanshu was also excellent in giving us additional practice in his discussion sections, as well as being generous to provide extra office hours where we could ask questions. Overall, I would definitely take this class again.
