Fairly good professor.
Weekly quizzes were tough and there was no midterm.
Final was hard.
Easiest ECE 100 you could ever find. 90+ is A+. Midterms and finals are straightforward and easy.
The professor was 5-10 mins late every day. Lectures were not the most clear but they got the job done. Homework was fine. Tests were rushed for time and a bit difficult but solvable once you find out a trick to simplify the problems. They allow a cheat sheet. Part of this being so manageable is that we had the best TA ever thank you Alex G
I took him a while ago but I recall him being a pretty good professor. His lectures were clear, he followed the book pretty closely, and his grading was fair. I don't recall homework or exams being overtly difficult. I'd take him again.
Simply terrible. I'm happy I got a very good grade in his class but he is really bad, probably the worst professor I've ever had. If you want to take it, go ahead but it is risky...I really hated him, so as most people. It is not impossible to get an A though.
whoever did that rating is an idiot. You guys are just dumb and couldn't get the material. Blame yourselves.
I think his tests were all pretty fair and that the averages should have been much higher. I'm not one of the people that did really well in this class either, I got a B. Maybe the reason the scores were so low was because of the ambiguity of some of the questions? He was not bad at teaching but sometimes it was hard to understand what he was saying because of his accent/fast talk.
This guy is plain weird. His lectures can get annoying because you will find yourself not being able to understand what he is saying... as he speaks very fast and swallows words. Nevertheless, read the book and attend every lecture, his notes make more sense than anything that comes out of his mouth. His quizzes and exams are ridiculously difficult though. So, be prepared for a GPA drop.
This class is interesting, to say the least. I personally didn't like the professor that much; his notes were always messy and unclear at times, all homework and exams were pretty hard and the textbook tended to have not many good examples for the types of questions we were given, and he was overall not clear/helpful when directly asked. My TA, Alexander, was outstanding. His discussion sections were great for getting good examples and a general review of what the professor taught poorly.
Most people rate this class great due to the pre-applied curve, that is if you get over a 50%, that is passing (C-). Although it is nice, the grading is extremely strict, especially that they will take OFF points if you put wrong work down, so you could technically get negative points (yes you read that right). Midterms are only one hour, and the final was only 2 hours instead of the allotted 3, which made it a time crunch for the amount of questions given. As long as you do well on the homework and aim to get 50% on the exam, you'll be good grade wise, but the class was a pain to get through in the very least.
Last thing, the material for the last three weeks of the course is extremely rushed if taken in the Winter quarter due to the holidays, but half of the final was on it. I would recommend taking it Spring as it has the least amount of holidays, so discussions and lectures aren't cut short.
Professor appears inexperienced, and lacking care, enthusiasm for the subject.
