Took ECE 335. The lectures aren't that great, except the ones where he gives handouts, but he genuinely cares about how you do on the tests. He is super easy to reach, responds to emails within 30 minutes, and his review sessions outline exactly what is and is not going to be on the test. Read the textbook, go to the review sessions, easy ARate My Professors ↗
The only reason everybody doesn't fail this course is due to the TA. The professor does not do any examples in class and is very hard to understand. Not a super tough grader, gives you a good grade if he sees improvement instead of high scores on every exam but that means little when he can't teach. Dan, if you're reading this, please retire.Rate My Professors ↗
Lectures are useless. He mumbles everything and doesn't have a good understanding of technology. He spent ~10 minutes during one of the lectures trying to figure out how to scroll down a page. Go to discussion, the ta is the one actually teaching how to solve problems.Rate My Professors ↗
