ECE 340
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Released the first midterm grades the day of the course drop deadline and did not release second midterm grades until after the final. Nothing was graded until weeks into the course, never released homework/exam weightings. Little guidance on exam preparation. A pattern of disorganization that made the course unnecessarily stressful

ECE 548
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
He explains concepts clearly and knows how to teach. Instead of making students memorize, he focuses on helping us build intuitive understanding. I especially appreciated how he connected lecture topics to real industry design challenges in semiconductors

Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Chirag is great. He focuses on building intuition and understanding rather than memorizing formulas. Workload wasn't too bad, only a handful of homeworks and a big final project on top of 3 challenging, but fair exams. Lectures were really engaging and easy to follow, and he was helpful in office hours. Somewhat disorganized, but highly recommend.
