Great Professor, explains concepts really well. Also really wants to help and you can tell he puts in the effort to make good lectures and give good answers.

No technical guidance, avoid.

Prof Ilan is from EP. None of the project from EP. So you will learn nothing, easy A. Most projects are simpler than ECE5.

Crystal clear lectures with a fair amount of homework. I was pretty busy the whole week. Midterm was super easy, but the final was pretty tough. I'm happy with my grade so I think he was fair overall.

Hmm? Ilan was a good lecturer with clear examples and concise explainations. I did decent on the midterm, hw, and lab reports but that final was just impossible. Got a disappointing grade because of a test that probably 75% of the class failed. This guy's tests are meant to trick you, so study hard and know everything completely.

Awesome class. He's a really cool guy and his lectures were really good. I only referred to the book a couple of times while doing the hmwk because most of the time I only needed my notes.

Cool guy, very helpful. Class is tough if you don't go to class. Must listen and take notes to do well. Start your homework early or else you will go insane and fail trying to do it the day before. Ask him if you have questions and he will help like crazy. Totally awesome class.

Really wants his students to get it, go to office hours because he'll spend as long as he needs to to make sure students understand, do the homework yourself, it pays off on tests

if you don't have any experience with programing prior to the class you might have a tough time. if you keep up on the the assignments (which are 50% of the class grade) you'll be ok. tests are pretty tough, study the example problems he gives you like crazy- they're really similar on the test

He gives sample problems to the midterm and final in class before he gives the actual tests.

Cool guy, easy to talk to in office hours and very helpful. Knows what he's talking about and willing to answer your questions in class too. Kind of tough class if you've never had programming but by the end you should understand it if you did the hw and took advantage of office hours..hw is 50%, make sure you can read code for tests!
