ECE225 . 4 Years Ago

Learned a lot on VLSI technologies that might be difficult to find on textbooks.

ECE124A . 10 Years Ago

Important course but neither professor nor TA helps much. Poject, HW and labs take much time while necessary guidance lacks. Can't get any useful help from TA and doubt his familiarity with the course. Prof is late for class all the time. Kinda tough course!

ECE124A . 11 Years Ago

Poor class administrator. Large disconnect between lab, lecture, and project. Complete disregard for your time. Needlessly cruel. Laughed at struggling students, and handed out midterms from highest to lowest grades. First half of the course isn't too bad (as it's a review on earlier courses), but degrades heavily, just in time for the midterm.

ECE124A . 13 Years Ago

He is ridiculous. I agree with the comments made about showing up late to every lecture and the tests being way too difficult. Starts out the quarter making you think the course load is easy, then assigns a massive project in the middle of the quarter that is impossible to complete. On top of it, assigns hw to work on concurrently! He is terrible!
