Comment:
Hilarious professor. Knows his material well, and the lectures are super clear. The labs are great fun, and the grading is quite easy. However, the course itself has little structure, and can occasionally get very tough. There is no textbook and assignments and exams are mostly research-based.

Comment:
Lal is a good guy. He has high aspirations for this class. Homework and final project are hard. He designed this course really well to expose students to higher level ECE concepts. Sometimes it can get really hard, but just remember that he is a pretty easy grader in the end.

Comment:
Lectures were simple at times, but often got into the broad scope of things we didn;t completely understand. Labs were fun, but homeworks were often tedious. The final project was fun and a great learning experience.

I barely understood what he said in lectures but his homework and labs were amazing. They make you understand very well and he is very lenient in grading. He is a smart man.

Please avoid this professor. He is an Indian Santa Claus - smart but can't teach worth a dime. Also, he's a terrible advisor. He doesn't show up for meetings EVER.

Lectures very structure and organized. Challenging homework and exam problems (but not tedious!). The complete opposite of ECE 315.

completely different person from 315. 432 is clear and organized. He's extremely helpful with his office hours. Very friendly too.

WHat abad professor...so unorganized. Don't take 315 with him. He'll make you want to drop ECE. We should have more profs like delchamps and less ones like Lal.

this guy cannot teach at all. his lectures are just bits and pieces of the lecture notes posted by the book authors, his explanations suck, he's a sneaky ****, pushing back our test past the drop date so we can't dropwhen we all fail the test

He actually admitted in class that he forgets that we take more than 1 class!!! The guy shows up 30 mins late and expects us to stay 30 mins after. The guy is very smart but.... Final project took around 100 hours for most ppl.
