Students said the professor was enthusiastic and very approachable. They also liked getting hands-on lab experience. As for a negative aspect, the lectures were hard to pay attention to. Also the homework was very difficult and time-consuming. Students suggested making the lectures more interactive and having a longer lab period. Students said this course provides a good introduction to the major. It is difficult, especially if you don’t have experience with circuits, but if you seek help from the professor you can do well.

Students thought that the best aspects of this course included the highly engaging lectures and professor. The labs reinforced the information discussed in class and students found the materials chal enging but interesting. Students believed that the homework did not reflect the information covered in the lecture, and they found it difficult to complete the homework because the lecture slides did not have enough information. Students suggested discussing example problem sets as part of the lecture, and adding more information to the slides. Prospective students must make sure that they go to class, complete the labs, and complete the assignments before lecture. Students can always attend the professor’s office hours to get additional assistance.
