ECE 376
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
he doesnt do anything ever. he makes us come to class to do homework and doesnt teach anything. he didnt even show up the first day of class. I cant even hear myself think while working on homework in his 100 decibal classroom with everyone yelling at each other its just the worst thing ever I literally get nothing done.

love paying $8,000 in tuition this semester for my professors to do "flipped classroom" and literally just not teach and walk around the classroom doing nothing the entire time while assigning video lectures from another professor and another class. What am I even paying for? seriously? I'm really not asking for anything unreasonable here.
