His accent makes it very difficult to follow what is going on in the lectures, and he simply copies down examples from a piece of paper and gives you the answer. He will skip steps and not explain how he is solving the problem, and if a student asks for clarification he doesn't understand what they are having difficulties with. He makes mistakes in lecture that students have to correct. He collects homework every week but we later found out that he was assigning problems from a previous edition of the book that were not relevant to the tests and quizzes. The simple examples he went over in class were nothing compared to what was on the quizzes and tests, and he would throw in random twists that we had never learned before. Pretty much every quiz/test had typos on it that didn't make sense and students had to correct. It was clear he was just using quizzes from previous quarters on stuff he hadnt fully covered with our class. He didn't follow his syllabus at all, and our lecture and quiz were one week ahead of the homework we had to turn in that week. His tests and quizzes are extremely difficult especially given the examples he would go over in class. He taught this class as if it were a higher level EE class, and beginners didn't know what to do. He is nice with grading, your grade is based on quizzes homework midterm and final unless your grade on the final is better and he drops the lowest quiz scores. If you are really good at understanding a class based on the book you might be able to do well in the class but thats difficult to do when this is the first time you are seeing any of these concepts.
