Super chill, not the greatest at explaining complicated concepts, but trys his best. Very fair tests.
Solid professor. Fat curve. Start labs early.
Although Strukov might pass off as a boring lecturer, his teaching style is really straightforward. The class material is really interesting and Strukov does a great job explaining the main points. Exams are not tricky at all so long as you pay attention to lecture or read the textbook. Attendance is extra credit where you sign in each lecture.
Great professor. His experience in the USSR has allowed us to all get the same grade in the class. Unfortunately the average was too low for anyone to get a significant grade.
