ECE 411
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
He wants you to think and learn, and is thorough in lecture. He may be a bit hard to get used to, but he is a great professor. Exams are challenging but he lets you correct them for some points back. And yes he loves machines, but he's also a world-renowned expert in electric drives, so be nice.
