ECE 436
Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
Taking ECE 432 and 436 with him right now, he makes you use this program that he made in like the 90s, and it is so bad and hard to use and you don't learn anything in his classes, he's a nice guy but hes so old and is a terrible teacher and I'd never reccomend anyone to take his class

437, not 436. Lectures are all handwritten and over two years old, confusing and awkward. I just took the first exam and feel confident on about 15%, and all 6 of the rest of us in the class feel the same way. Will answer questions enthusiastically. Really don't take 437 as I don't see any applications, barely can understand any of the material.

Honestly, I don't really know what happened in this class. Dr Milenkovic is very nice but a confusing professor. He would read off his slides and explain it but without examples it was confusing. The final project is confusing but he will walk you through it if you go to office hours. He is always more than willing to help.

Professor is a nice person. Homeworks and exams are just fine.. But the final project is really a disturbing case. I cannot even understand what the questions mean, and the experiments that should be conducted on TF32J (a java program) is also hard, the software itself is not hard but it is hard to get what the project wants us to do.

I am noticing a lot of people are talking down about the way he teaches ECE 376 which has been using flipped classroom format for sometime now and is not structed in a way that Paul gets to choose so no sense in complaining about that. In terms of ECE 436, he posts all notes and records all lectures. Will take time to answer any and all questions.

Professor Milenkovic is a really good person. He is willing to answer any of your questions, and he is accessible by Email all the time. He also grades generously. But his lectures are a bit dry, and the lecture notes are not well organized. However, there is a textbook to follow, so it is not a big problem to me.
