Amazing professor, loved the way he taught. He is extremely easy to understand, and knows his stuff. This class was one of the best that I attended, and it was really fun too. Approachable and knowledgable, 10 outta 10

Great class - professor really knows his stuff and makes an effort to be available on Piazza outside of lectures and OHs to help students. Projects and exams are tough but fair, and if you make an effort, you won't be blindsided.

Superb professor. Hard tests and hard labs, and those two make up your entire grade. He makes the class difficult but rewarding. Take only if you genuinely care about the subject and want to learn, not if you want an easy A. He will make you work for it!

Great lectures, but you can still do well on the exams if you diligently study the slides. The labs/projects are really fun. You also won't realize how important this class is until you take it, so trust me, take it. I'd wished I'd taken it sooner when I got asked questions about how I made my projects secure in job interviews.

He is a great professor who is passionate about his research. He teaches well and explains the concerts really thoroughly. I would take him again!
