The lectures were quite scattered and had to learn the materials myself. The piazza questions were almost never answered. The project was brought up extremely last minute so everything had to be rushed. We werent even informed what score we got on the project. Would have dropped out but the course was mandatory for me and no other prof taught it.DS5230 2025-01-01 00:13:02 +0000 UTC
No clear grading criteria, never responds to emails (including his TAs), is not at all accessible outside class hours, does not grade assignments on time (assignments from January were graded right before the semester ended), cannot receive timely feedback on your work.DS5500 2023-04-29 15:02:17 +0000 UTC
This guy's "office hours" were just him answering questions after class for like 15 min. Before the midterm there were about 20 people lined up and he just goes "dont have time for this today" and leaves. The midterm had almost nothing to do with the class material and was just advanced probability screwed if you didn't have enough prior knowledge.EECE5644 2020-06-05 21:18:10 +0000 UTC
Honestly this class was like the twilight zone in the worst ways. I would go in to office hours and he would not be there. He would show up late and cancel class randomly. You only get feedback on things you do well and never seem to see quizzes you do badly on. In addition we were graded on 3 quizzes worth more than 3/4 of the entire class grade.ECE2540 2019-05-10 02:15:19 +0000 UTC
David Brady runs a very lecture heavy class for EECE2540. He goes over the text book material from slides provided by the textbook's publisher. The homeworks are spaced out, so there's not too much, but the problems are from the text book, so expect to pay for it (or find it via alternative methods). You could easily not show up and still pass.EECE2540 2019-02-25 00:33:06 +0000 UTC
