idk why people call him crazy or eccentric. open your mind a little and stop being so judgmental. he's just so passionate about circuits. i love this man and i love this class

I would say Rodwell is definitely an acquired taste- you either enjoy his teaching style, or not at all. Although his homeworks, tests, and projects are extremely time consuming and difficult, he definitely cares about his students, atleast from my experience. I'm glad I'm done taking the 137 series but it was a worthwhile class nonetheless.

Excellent professor; VERY difficult class. Doesn't waste a second of time in lecture. Lab projects are very intense and weigh heavily on your grade (half the class slept overnight in the lab the day before it was due). Tests are difficult, but fair. Very passionate, very knowledgable. Good prof, but plan to devote ALOT!!! of hours to his class.

Went way too fast, impossible to get his time even durning office hours, tests were a matter of how quick you were not of the subject matter.

A very time consuming class, Mark was quite helpful throughout the difficult labs. I do think the exam difficulty was fair despite me messing up a few things. Eventually I received a grade of a B while having 88% in the class, turns out he curved it down which I didn't know was a thing. Overall a hard class, tough grader but otherwise decent prof.
