Before I took this class I didn't see the point of taking electromagnetics. This prof. explains it very well. Never thought I'd actually look forward to going to this class.

He talks a lot about real-world applications of the things we're learning, which makes the course mor enjoyable. One of the few profs in this department with actual industry experience.

Project was good for learning about the circuits taught. Doing this project you felt you were doing a real design. Great course, thanks!

One of the best professors I've come across at Queen's. You learn a lot from his course but he makes you work for it.

He taught us a lot of circuits and interesting stuff. If you take this course, don't skip class because he doesn't post notes online and there's not textbook. He assigns readings from different places. The course project is the best part.

Avoid by all standards especially if you're an international graduate student. Talk with his previous students to get a clearer picture. You've been warned!

He gets confused a lot during lectures. He does not understand the material well and does many mistakes. If you're a graduate student, be advised that he will ruin your career and treat you rudely especially if you're not domestic.

Comment:
He expects everyone to know everything from the textbooks and spends lectures vaguely explaining some equations and telling you how everything relates to industry. His heart's in the right place because he's trying to make class more interesting, but at the end of the day you're being tested on math that you were never taught how to do.
