Best EECS professor at Michigan. wrote the 215,216, and 230 book which are all for free since his fight with the publisher. Used to be incharge of allocating ALL of U of M's research money. If he teaches a class take his class

Four required lectures each week, with attendance enforced via pop quizzes, and all electronics strictly banned. Most boring part of my day. Forced you to conform to learning style of taking notes on lecture slide printouts then doing excessive practice problems. Ridiculous amount of homework for such an easy subject. Everyone got an A, though.

Great professor and legend of remote sensing. He focuses on the fundamentals and explains everything clearly. He cares and respects everyone. The book microwave radar and radiometric remote sensing is phenomenal. He sacrifices his personal time to talk to each student individually. Don't miss any course if he teaches again. If possible, be friends!

Prof. Ulaby is easily the best professor I have ever had. His primary goal is for his students to learn the material and its real world significance. If you pay attention and do the assignments, you will learn the material and you will earn a good grade. He is very passionate and does a good job of getting students interested in electromagnetics.

He wrote the textbook that you use and is very clear about the subject. You can see his passion for Electromagnetics in lecture and his homework problems are not that bad. He knows who attends class and who doesn't. Doesn't tolerate late people or ones who skip. You don't need the textbook because of lecture but it helps. Great Professor!

Professors don't get any better than this. Genuinely cares about his students. Keeps perspective on the big picture of what engineers do, which is very inspirational and helpful. One of the foremost experts in his field. Lectures are fantastic. Wants to see his students do well and shows it. Class was a lot of work. I came away a huge fan.

Great professor. Cares that you focus on learning the material rather than stressing out about the grade. If you are an EE, you miss out if you don't take at least one class with him.

Professor Ulaby is by far the best professor I've had at Michigan. He's super nice, inspirational and knows the material. His lectures are clear, and he's always willing to help. He cares about the students learning the material. I wish he could teach every EE class.

Take any class he teaches, no questions asked. He is great and really cares about all of his students. Plus he really does grade holistically. His books (especially the electromagnetics one) are also very helpful.

Comment:

EECS 215 is one of those courses that many students dread. However, Ulaby made it manageable when he taught it. He probably won't be teaching 215 anymore, but you should definitely try to take a course from him at some point in your EE undergraduate career. You will need a good work ethic to do well in his class, but you really will learn a lot.

He's as great as everybody has been saying. 330 is much better than 230. You can still get a good grade in 330 even if you didn't do that great in 230. The material in 330 is VERY USEFUL no matter what area in EE you do. This class should be considered as pseudo-required for all EE's. Also, you don't need to get a new book if you got it for 230.

You want to have him at some point in your undergraduate EE career. His class is the best I have ever taken. Ulaby wants you to focus on learning rather than grades, and will consider your effort as part of the evaluation. 330 with him was mainly project based, and you will have a much better experience compared to 230 lab.

Great professor. Take any EECS class with him and you will not regret it. He takes into consideration your effort when assigning grades. If you are an EE and don't take a class with him, you are really missing out!

If you take 215, take it with Ulaby. He is a genius. When I had him he was about to take a sabbatical to research non-invasive methods of breaking up cancerous tissue. He is a great lecturer and cares about his students. I failed because I didn't study enough for exams and he was still incredibly supportive. Ulaby will never make you feel stupid.

My 2nd class with the big boss of EECS. Easily the best professor I've had. Workload is very high but he grades fairly and holistically so your hard work is never in vain. Has amazing knowledge about the material and will constantly connect the material from the book to real life applications and examples. All professors need to be like Ulaby.

Prof. Ulaby is the man! His teaching is fantastic and he cares a lot whether you learn or not. Very organized in his materials. The class is not easy but not too complicated if you are a daily based working student. He considers even his teaching assistants and their concerns a lot.
