The best aspects of this course included the material that related easily to real-life scenarios, as well as the instructors enthusiasm while lecturing and constant eagerness to help the students. Some students felt that the problem sets and concepts covered in class were not taught explicitly enough to prepare them for the assignments and exams. Suggestions included taking more time on problem sets in class and providing students with consistent feedback. Prospective students are encouraged to buy the textbook and make themselves a study schedule because it’s easy to get lost and/or fall behind.

The best aspects of this class were the interesting material presented, seeing various other classes pul ed together in one place and the applicability to later courses in the degree program. The course also uses MATLAB, and this course gave many students a good introduction to that program. The worst aspects of the class were the inconsistent textbook, the discrepancy between the examples in class and the questions on the exams, and the feedback on incorrect questions and grades is lacking. Suggestions for improving the course include having a better textbook, more consistency between the problems shown in class, on homework, and on exams, and giving solutions along with examples. Prospective students should have a strong background in calculus, complex numbers, phasors, and trigonometry. The homework requires a significant time commitment, and you should be prepared to study additional material outside of class.

The best aspects of this class included the helpful TA run sections and the fair exams which were reflective of the homework. Students felt that the instructor’s method of teaching was ineffective and that lectures were dry and difficult to understand. Suggestions for improvement included making lecture notes more explanatory and not mere copies from the text, working out practice questions during lecture, increasing the curve, and al owing more time after class to complete homework. Prospective students are encouraged to read the textbook and dedicate time outside of class to understanding topics. Students should be prepared for a chal enging course and be comfortable with calculus.
