Lectures were confusing but class was an easy A if you put in effort.

Professor Brewer is a genius but will often go on interesting and random tangents prompted by questions. Lecture relates to about 50% of the lab/coursework however the other 50% is interesting lore about why things are the way they are in this industry. Lab takes about 10-20 hours a week and homework about 5. Section attendance mandatory.

Labs prepare you well for the final project both require quite a bit of thinking. Prof Brewer has the class structured very well and his lectures are interesting although a bit hard to follow if you aren't giving your undivided attention. Make sure you talk to him during office hours hes a really nice guy and a genius.

This is unusual to grade because lectures are not really needed in this class so my only complaint about them being off topic is not really legit. other than that he is a great guy, class was easy and fair and we could get a lot of help form prof and TA's on our projects.

He helped almost every group as much as he could, really cared for all the first years and tried to help them make their ideas become reality.

I've had him for multiple classes, and his worst habit is going off topic. #1 tip: he does not take things personally and it's a much better use of everyone's time if someone politely calls him out to pivot. He's one of the best in the ECE dept but can be a complete fire hose as a lecturer. So steer him with questions/interest & you'll learn a ton.
