Comment:
Amazing professor! Her lectures were very clear and interesting. Her office hours are very helpful too if you had more questions. She really cares about students learning the material and her tests were fair. She also gave non-graded quizzes that she took up during the lecture, they were extremely helpful. Definitely one of the best profs I've had!

by far one of the most cutest professors in ece. I would only go to morning classes to see her teach. Got a terrible mark in the course tho but I would take again if she's teaching it and will pay attention this time

She is one of the most responsible prof i have throughout my university career. She cares about students: She spends extra 20-30 minutes after class to answer the questions students have in the course material. Also, she gave non-graded quiz to the class and solve them in class to test our understanding on each chapter. One of the best prof!

She is a prof that really cares that everyone understands the material. Don't hesitate to ask questions, as she gives clear answers, and is happy to answer any question. Some days, however, she goes through the material very fast, and I needed to review at home to understand what happened, but overall, she's a great prof for this course.

Comment:
Her lectures are pretty organized and clear. If not, it's probably more due to the nature of the content than her teaching skill. She does very relevant examples in class to make sure everyone is on the same page so even in the exams are slightly more involved than usual, no one should be completely lost.

Comment:
Not an easy course at all. Teaching is bad and notes are horrible very disorganized.Pretty much had to learn everything on your own.People who did well either had background or did other related courses. And final was horrible and full of surprising material. Extremely misleading with final's content.

Comment:
Firstly, dont take this course if you have not studied Operations Research.Trust me on that and you will not regret your decision. Secondly, the professor literally makes you fall asleep in the class.Thirdly, after having taught this course for so many years, she still does not have good notes .She is the worst professor I have ever studied from.

Comment:
Extremely random course. Final paper was extremely difficult. She told us to expect 25% from one section which was fairly difficult section and she gave around 50% of that in the final exam which had 50% weightage. Whoever says its easy to score in this course is misleading. Take this course if you dont have any other choice.

Be very sure why you are taking this course. You wont understand anything during the lectures because the language used is purely technical. It was told to me that it will be a very easy going course with a straight forward final exam. However, it was extremely difficult, and the final was completely different from what she asked us to expect.

Not explain things clearly, skipping important parts. Exams are based on IMPORTANT PARTS.

Spent an absurd amount of time on easy topics, then sped through the difficult stuff with terrible explanations. And the final exam was filled with ridiculously difficult questions, far beyond the examples we did. One of the worst professors I have had.

Extremely good professor, the course would have been better if she used D2L, and uploaded proper solutions in a systematic manner.

Like someone else said, she was good until it hit synchronous circuits, and then it all went downhill from there.

Wonderful professor. Helped me a great amount for Digital Design. Her notes are very handy, and clear. Dont miss her classes, as her midterms come from her lecture notes. Final Exam was tough, but there is always bell curve :).

She was very clear at the beginning of the course but kinda talked to herself during the 2nd part of the course (sequential, asynchronous circuits). The material is easy once you understand the stuff. Do the assignments, if you can't do those then ask someone.
