As such, he did not create his own hw, exercises, exams, videos, or discussion slides. He also never lectures so he has done the minimum effort of any professor I've taken. The class just sucks, take mechatronics instead because who in the world analyzes circuits by hand anymore.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2143189","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:04:38.810813+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM4NDAyOTMx","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2143189","instructor_name":"Steven Fredette","course_label":"ECE376","course_id":"ECE 376","course_uid":"course_ab2f16c586da4b0250af474f","review_date":"2023-11-16 05:03:29 +0000 UTC","comment":"Worst class I've ever taken, you watch outdated lectures, listen to this guy give a poorly done short speech, then are quizzed on what you just learned every single day for 15% of your grade. If you want to do well your options are to study material before he teaches it, or not show up and learn it yourself. And he wonders why no one shows up...","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2143189","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:04:38.810813+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM4MzYwNzI3","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2143189","instructor_name":"Steven Fredette","course_label":"ECE376","course_id":"ECE 376","course_uid":"course_ab2f16c586da4b0250af474f","review_date":"2023-11-08 21:56:28 +0000 UTC","comment":"Constantly talked about how he was a \"5 star professor\",  but refused to listen to students problems with workload in the class.

Exercises are impossible to finish in class and have large penalties for mistakes. Plus there's hw every week. Steve calls himself a 5 star professor, but refuses to acknowledge that students are struggling because he allows this class to keep being taught like this.

Outdated, \"flipped environment\" where you pay for lectures and instead work on exercises that were rushed in a day by the professor.

He gets a lot of flack for having difficult classes but the thing is he will never test you on something he hasn't taught. ECE376 isn't meant to be a cake walk and a majority of his naysayers are people who fail to understand that. Great guy and professor.
