Comment:

Although in the beginning it was tough, you'll learn to like Druzgalski, he will do any example if you ask to clarify. Tests are very difficult, conceptual circuit designing questions. Participate and build extra circuits, I failed both midterms, passed the final with a B but I participated in class and built 5 circuits and ended with an A.

Comment:

Avoid this professor if you can, especially if you haven't been exposed to this type of material. His "notes" are a bunch of illegible scribbles on the board and he is kinda hard to understand. Be prepared to do a lot of self-studying as he tends to jump around into material that hasn't been discussed. Presentations and extra credit is a must!

He is a very likable individual. His exams are bearable, even the final. Try to create as many circuits on a bread board so you can understand how the circuit behaves. There certain key concepts he wants yo to understand like the galvanometer 0 current, steady state step response of RC and LR. Make sure you do the hw and work your problems at home.

Should not be a professor. Doesn't teach. Terrible. All we do is present and no one pays attention. He always talks about how his presentations help people get jobs, but I wouldn't want any company to hear me present what I bsed for the class...

Comment:

Toughest class I have ever taken in my life. The exams are pretty difficult and his questions are vague. However, he does want his students to understand the concept. He is one of the few professors at this university to actually answer questions in class by working out the entire problem until you understand it.

Comment:

I don't even know where to start. He is absolutely the worst professor on campus. He shouldn't be allowed to teach this course or any course at all. His exams are take home, but they make no sense because he makes them so vague and complex. The "textbook" is just a bunch of articles he found strung together. Get ready to suffer all I can say.

Hardly ever lectures. Class is all presentations which contributes very little to the students understanding of the course material. If you ask any of the students what they learned, they won't know how to respond because they did not learn anything. Should not be "teaching" this course at all, and he should consider the feedback he gets...

Take advantage of extra credit and turn something in for every class. Read ahead of the class and his lectures will be useful. If you have questions, he'll do any problem on the board for you. Practice as many problems as possible and you'll get an A.

Comment:

He doesn't really go well in depth with explaining the concepts of designing circuits into the actual implementation of circuits. There were 5 labs, 2 of which I had no clue what I was doing, and with little help. The midterms and final are extremely hard, but there's a curve. Second midterm went from an out of 40 to an out of 23.

a little difficult to understand sometimes but he teaches decently. typically i would use the book to understand better what he went over during class. labs are easy and tests are fair.

Avoid him at all costs, especially if never exposed to logic circuits/EE. Be prepared for disorganized lectures, material not covered to be on exams, and to never know your grade because of his grading system. There is little/no explanation on wiring a breadboard/components, and topics are taught out of order. You'll be better off watching YouTube.

His lectures are totally confused you because he is very unorganized with it. You will get lost during his lecture (I bet). His tests are extremely hard and you will have just a little bit of time to do it. More than half of the class failed on every exams. Good thing, he lets you turn in Extra Credit circuit any times. Do it & you'll survive!

Comment:

He teaches EE but avoids math like the plague. I thought it was really interesting how he approached teaching RLC using only the stuff we learned up to that point and avoiding all the calculus and diff eq.. Grading is weird and unclear. It seems like half of his tests are extra credit but he uses it in a strange way. Do your best you'll be fine

Probably the worst professor I've ever had. He seems to take joy in giving students low grades, will argue with you when you try to turn in extra credit and refuse to accept it for reasons that were never expressed when he gave the extra credit assignment in the first place, and his lectures will never really teach you anything useful. AVOID.

Don't take this class with him. You learn on your own plus his tests are nothing like what he talks about in class. He makes you do useless assignments. Lecture time is totally useless. You never know your grade. Don't get surprised when you see a lot of people dropping. Stay away from him

go to class & copy down the examples he does. STUDY THESE EXAMPLES and the homework and "lucky numbers." Do at least 4 extra credits. HE DOESN'T TEACH! I was so lost for weeks. He jumps right into things without explaining. Very confusing. Don't take him. But if you have no other choice, then be prepared. you wont know your grade until finals.

Comment:

This class is all presentations. If you do everything exactly how he wants I see no reason why you shouldn't get a really good grade. Asks questions when it comes to format and make sure your presentations are on medical equipment and not all statistical data.
