Comment:

he adapted to the online transition very well to make the course much more interesting than it would have been otherwise by incorporating a hands-on portion to each lab, which was great. he's very helpful too and the TAs help a lot as well. material for the course is easy for the first half but gets more interesting and a bit tougher later on

My best prof so far at Carleton. He totally updated the course for online and asked for feedback so it was optimal for students learning. The amount of effort he put in for his students well being was amazing and truly made it feel like he had learning as his number one priority... also a really cool class.

Comment:

takes down resources from sites where notes were previously available, does not provide notes or slides, forces you to buy all these things from him. hates using the mic for some reason. monotonous voice and condescending attitude. You can feel how much he doesn't want to teach, makes it hard to focus. doesn't let u detach eqns sheet during tests

Comment:

Gauthier is a very fair prof. All of the test and final used questions and theory straight from the lectures and textbook. Beware that he is very theory-heavy, my suggestion would be to know the theory well first, then go over the practice problems. Easy labs, overall pretty easy class

Gauthier is a really reasonable guy. There is a lot to remember in his class, but he doesn't make it any worse than it should be. He's very helpful after class and in his office hours.

I love Professor Gauthier. He is a G. The course is such an amazing thing that happened to me. I congratulate people who got an A+. Whoever got less than an A+ gotta drop engineering. Final Exam was too easy I forgot to study for it but ended up acing that paper anyway. Would recommend taking it with Gauthier since he's the one and only real G.

Prof R.G knows what he's talking about. He makes the lectures interesting even though students don't show up to class because he uploads all the lecture slides and notes. For the A+ guy congrats for doing so, but I have taken Prof R.G as a professor twice before (ELEC 2607, 3105) & I REALLY don't think he repeats finals especially from other profs

Gauthier is very knowledgable, but he does not teach well. Advice for people taking 3908 next semester who want an easy A+: 1: skip class - Do yourself a favor and save yourself an entire class 2: do the previous years quizzes - material is all rinse and repeat 3: do McGarrys practice final questions to study for the final

Class is difficult if you don't keep up with it. Lectures are long and exhausting. Robert knows his stuff very well but is not good at all at expressing it to students. Doesn't care much about the students either in regards to emails and out of class consultation. In comparison to other ELEC profs, he's good.

The course is theory heavy makes you do one full year project with no guidelines and then the ta comes up with some. Not specific on what the exam will be on.

The material for this course isn't hard, but there was more than I expected. The midterm and exam were both fair, and the labs were graded very easily. Gauthier just reads off of the slides, class attendance is optional. He's a decent prof, although his lectures are pretty dry. Ignore what he says about buying textbooks, the slides are amazing.

I personally enjoyed him teaching 2607. Lecture were boring, as he just reads through the lecture slides, but his midterm and final exam were fair. Come to class to learn, and take detailed notes. His voice is monotone, but he gives hints about the problems. Go to Pass, to solidify your knowledge. Labs were long, but the prelab is the lab.

He is a fairly straight forward professor, he will make time to discuss outside class hours any problems you have. The term work that he puts forward is fairly straight forward and easier than the exam that you will write. I found the exam to be challenging but organized, it was a fair exam just a lot of material to cover.

Comment:

He is not a very interesting prof, he is boring and doesn't care. But, he does tell you what he wants on the final. you go in blind knowing that you need to be able to apply your fundamental understanding of the course material. I.e. why and where you use equations, not how to use them. My exam was more application and theory of equations.

A great prof, but the lectures are long (mostly duplicated from the textbook..) and it's not terribly interesting to listen to him. Class attendance bombed after the first week so I can see why people didn't do well in his class.. The final was deadly, but he graded it very easilybell curved it.

Great guy but super hard material. But alot of people just complain because it's a class where you actually need to put in some work and effort. So do your work, go to class and study and will do fine. If you try then youll be rewarded for it.

Comment:

Read the book. This course is not easy, but if you read the book, pay attention in lectures, and take good notes, you can do very well. Fail rate is high - he warns you of this at the start. It's almost certainly due to lack of following instructions and attendance. Labtutorial is not set up well. Pick your lab partner carefully.
