CollegeLooking back to the course material and the potential this course had, Professor Laguette was the worst possible lecturer for the job. He is in no way helpful during lectures and office hours. What sells him short the most is that he won't do anything if a member of your project takes advantage of your work. He couldn't care less. Why should I?
The class is largely project based and you really learn what you make of it. If you choose a project you are interested in and work methodically through coming to your final design it is quite beneficial but if you leave it until the end not so much. Laguette is really easy to understand but very monotone and repeats a lot from lecture to lecture
If you go to lectures and all presentations, the only reading you have to do it to solve the hw,which is easy anyway.Class project was fun and fairly easy if you start early enough with your group.
Mr. Laguette makes things more difficult than necessary. Getting the ridiculous 189 class requirements to mesh with the project was nearly impossible and we had to compromise the quality of the project for passing the class. All in all I was extremely disappointed in his interference in the project.
