honestly i miss him now that im in 10B
Did nothing all quarter suprised if he keeps his job after this
Showe up for 50% of lectures; when he's here he's mostly reading the slides. Gave us a list of things to review for the final, which I luckily didn't take seriously, because the final's scope does not align with his list. Final exam come up if you Google "ECE10A Final". Massage the URL, the answer key is there, available before we took the exam.
Professor canceled most lectures, one TA was uncooperative, and entire course was a mess. Final exam more difficult than expected, although there was extra credit and a two-sided cheatsheet. He reused a previous tests which was leaked, so some students finished in an hour while many other students took the full 3 hours and struggled on the exam.
Does not have any interest in teaching. Uses previous years teaching slides, skip most of the lectures. That's fine, but he used previous years assignments and questions papers as it is, which were practiced. by some students before the exams.
He missed many lectures (fine), but this professor gave us a list of concepts that would be on the final and the one he told us to focus on did not appear at all. This would be fine, except after the final I learned he had just re-used the exact test from last year which many of my peers had access to. This did not make the grading remotely fair.
