Comments:Signals and Systems - Great, honest, hard working man. Writes on the chalkboard too fast and loses his class all the time, though. You have to commit to reading the book and learning through homework problems because not many people get much out of the actually class time. It's not impossible to make an A, just very time consuming. Final is a multiple choice killer but you get five pages of notes.  - Grade In Class:C

Comments:Circuits - Dr. Farris is the greatest teacher of all time. Well...maybe not all time, but who CAN'T like this guy? Copy the old test questions to your cheat sheet he lets you use, and you will make an A. Period. Oh except for his multiple choice final...don't even study for it because you will fail no matter what.   - Grade In Class:B+

Comments:3335 - Donald is a crazy old man. We loved making fun of his SNOW JOBS and TRICKY DICK comments that made our day. I HATED this class more than the Devil, and you HAVE to get your hands on the old tests. Tests are usually easy homework problems, but the Final kills because its 35 percent of your grade. His HWK grader sucks and counts on for everything.   - Grade In Class:A

Comments:2430 - Farris is the man. Cool dude with a little bit of a hunch back. BUT he is the yoda of Circuits. Tests and quizes are VERY straight forward, watch out for the multiple choice final though. homework helps tremendously, but sometimes he posts like 3 assignments at a time which is gay. but just do them. they help mucho.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Circuits - Ferris is awesome! He explains everyting very well if you stay awake. He can be kind of dry sometimes, but he explains how do solve the problems in multiple ways and wants everyone to understand what they are doing. His test are usually a lot harder than the homework, so find an old test if you can to see the types of problems to expect, because he doesn't tell you that.  - Grade In Class:A

Comments:Circuits - Good at teaching, but writes very fast so you have to take down notes mindlessly. If you try to think about what he's saying, most times you'll miss something he wrote. Tests kind of suck because they're 4 or 5 questions long. Final is multiple choice which is in the classification of annoying since he puts all common mistakes as wrong answers.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:Circuits - Dr. Farris is the best Circuits teacher to take. You have a quiz every week, but he gives you the solutions so that you know if you are doing the homework right. You can make an A in this class as long as you keep current with your homework.  - Grade In Class:B

Comments:2430 - Awesome instructor! If you really want to learn the material take Farris. He will get you excited about learning circuits. Class time is very enjoyable and worth your time. He is really good about meeting with you an helping you until you understand. Great guy!  - Grade In Class:A
