Original student reviews · all captured dates
I liked how Prof summarizes the lecture content in the beginning of the class. I like the in-class Quizzes too, these are low-stakes check-point for my learning. I like how the HW, Quiz, and ALE prepare me for the Exams.Rate My Professors ↗
The lecture videos are not that long so it does not take too much time to prepare for class. It has good content together with the summary prepares me well. ALES are very helpful and home work aligns with what's learned in class.Rate My Professors ↗
I like the way Professor present the summary in the class before we start solving the day's ALE. The videos were easy to follow. The ALE problems are good to prepare for the exam at the same time they are thought provoking. I like the Bonus Quiz - ways to earn extra credits.Rate My Professors ↗
The in-class exercises were thoughtfully designed. These together with HWs prepared me well for the mid term and final exam. Prof Roy explained things very well - power electronics is one of the best courses I have taken in the college.Rate My Professors ↗
You need to be doing and practicing your HW and in-class exercises - keeping up to date as lecture materials and problems often build up on the previous exercises. Prof Roy explained things well. TAs were helpful too. I enjoyed the class overall!Rate My Professors ↗
