Sure, he may be older and somewhat monotone, but he knows his stuff and wants his students to do well. Be warned though, the grading can be pretty harsh sometimes, just know your stuff and practice the homework over and over. Tests usually consist of HW or variations thereof. They are usually pretty fair. Make sure to go to class too (he covers stuff that you wouldn't know otherwise)...He also let's you skip the final if you are alright with your grade in the class!

This is the unfortunate case of an individual who was clearly not loved enough as a child thus restricting him from loving anyone else or for that matter feeling any sort of emotion period. This man is a robot covered in artificial skin. He speaks acts and lectures in the same monotone voice and never shows any interest in the material. He is definitely the worst professor I've had throughout my college career and have lost respect for the entire ece department for keeping this broken down machine. If you didn't get the hint do not take this professor no matter what. Wait a semester and take the class when a different professor teaches.

I really didn't enjoy this class, and his teaching didn't help. He often went on tangents that were only vaguely related to course material. Homework was collected often, sometimes every class, and it was graded. His tests were pretty hard, too. You definitely need to go to class, and the homework helps.
