He is so nervous about losing students that gives away free As. I prefer professors who care about students understand hard engineering topics not just keeping students happy so he does not lose his teaching job.

Lectures 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

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.
