CollegeLectures are clear and easy to understand. Explains complex circuits clearly. Very respectful to students. Drops lowest homework and quiz. Midterm and final are very easy.
As the quarter progressed, less and less people attended his lectures, myself included. The class is basically a free A as long as you do the homeworks and final project (no final exam or midterm). His lectures, in my opinion, were uninteresting and unnecessary to attend. You can find all the content in his notes anyways
He is though but still better than most of other professors.
Salem made the class really easy, and gave extra credit opportunities on the final. lowest midterm dropped too
Very generous, often pushed back deadlines. Amazing lecture slides, his lectures are just him going over the slides so if you wanted to you could skip them. Homework was harder than midterms, and lowest midterm was dropped.
This class seemed almost too easy to be true. Decent lecturer(slow paced but very clear and detailed), has good notes. VERY forgiving grading. Dropped lowest midterm and gave extra credit on the final. Homework was pretty nice and helped to learn the material.
