ECE 203
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
If you go to class and adequately prepare before you will be fine. Bernie is so nice and always was good at answering questions during lab. Exams are fairly straightforward if you do the review assignment and go over the period exercise. He was great.

ECE 203
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Took ECE 203 over the summer, and even at an accelerated pace Prof Lesieutre was able to prepare everyone for the exams and go over anything in office hours when needed. Very clear and concise lectures. The exams were easy, the labs were a little tough.

Super nice guy and helpful when you ask questions. While there aren't real lectures for 203, he is always willing to help and you can tell he cares about his students.

ECE 203
Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
I was an Undergrad Helper for Bernie. He's a great professor who cares, and wants to make sure concepts are truly understood. In ECE203 you do in-class activities instead of traditional lectures, but Bernie still does a short lecture so students understand the general concept. He even recognized he wrote a tough 1st exam, and opened another attempt
