Dr. Reilly is hands down my favourite prof. He makes signals and systems very comprehensible, and his energetic character makes his lectures a joy to attend.

Dr. Reilly is a wonderful human being and a great instructor. I do think his course was a little too easy but all of the content that was taught was well received.

Comment:
Ci5 he was good but for some reason 3TR4 he wasn't the same person. Gives you tough exams (final/midterm), lies to you about what is on the midterm, doesn't even show up for the final exam. Gives you useless formulae on the exams. Good luck if you have him.

Really awesome prof and great guy! Knows you by name and makes sure you understand the material. He is tough on marking and the exam was brutal, but he encourages you to think like an engineer when solving problems. Classes were also interesting and well worth going to!

Comment:
He can't write 5 lines without making a mistake. Jumps all over the place (literally) during lecture so it does keep you awake. Materials taught are generally irrelevant to what he tests. Just because he tells you that you do not need to memorize something, MEMORIZE IT! Cuz it's on your midterm.

I was in Dr. Reilly's class well over 10 years ago. I can truly say that he is one of those professors who instills a love of his topic. He lectures with clarity and knowledge. His classes are not to be missed. Thanks Dr. Reilly!!!

GO TO Dr.Reilley's classes! You learn, and you don't even need to follow the book, he covers everything clearly in his written whiteboard notes, practise midterm and exam questions from a bunch of old tests on the website and you'll get an easy 10+ in the course. He also teaches the tutorials where you can get a bunch of practise q's to work on!

Easy going and a nice guy. Funny and always smiling. But he always makes a lot of mistakes in class and I almost always got lost at the end.
