ECE 377
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Very personable and helped my group whenever we were struggling with in class exercises or homework. The workload was very manageable and the lectures, while long, were very helpful. The final was pretty difficult in comparison to the quizzes we did all semester, but overall not terrible.
