132 . Schow C L 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

he is not only boring but literally doesn't know anything. if you have questions don't bother to ask because he will either confuse you more or won't know the answer to them. hes just a talking textbook.

ECE10B . Schow C L 7 Days Ago

man, get this guy outta here. worst prof ever. worst everything ever. no clarity whatsoever on final exam score. copies notes from previous years and does it wrong all the time. huge time waster. wants a 50% bell curve on exams. also wants his exams to be like none of his past, so everyone has to figure it out on the spot LOL. goodbye

10B . Schow C L 7 Days Ago

This course should be taken by juniors. He constantly gives 40-50% exam averages and curves the median score to around a C+. Avoid this man if you can.

ECE10B . Schow C L 7 Days Ago

0 transparency of the curve at the end of the course. In lectures, we just listen to him ramble as he copies lecture notes from previous years, and with his delivery, it's like we're already expected to know what's going on. Midterm was insane given the time constraint (median was a 45%). Don't let him deceive you that he's a chill guy.

ECE10B . Schow C L 7 Days Ago

lectures were not helpful since he goes so fast you cant understand much or keep up. exams are very difficult compared to homework and the course is already hard. course feels very unstructured too, one time he asked US what WE want to learn in lecture, like thats your job. feels like he thinks hes teaching people who already know these topics
