Clarkson is a pretty good lab instructor -- he is specific about what he wants on his lab reports, but after getting pounded once or twice, you get the picture. I don't think he ever gave anything lower than a C on a quiz, he doles out the partial credit even if you got the thing absolutely wrong. The labs weren't well coordinated with the lecture sections -- there was a two-week gap, which was good when we got to it in lecture, we were ahead, but bad when we got to it in lab, since we had no idea what to do. Three quizzes, 9 labs, and nothing else -- no lab final or prelab to do, and he is quite personable. Good choice for Digital Design Lab

Labs were graded easily, my group rarely got below an A, quizzes were very straightforward although it pays to REALLY know the theory behind each and every lab before taking them because they require some small amount of thought. Anton is skilled at communicating the concepts neccessary to complete the lab efficiently and effectively. Though CPE 169 Labs can be long, they were rarely too confusing.

Like us, Anton already knows how misreable we are just going to lab. However, he's VERY helpful when you need it and striaghtfoward to try to make you understand. However, he tends to be difficult to understand during his lectures before classes. Other than that, you can always come to him when you have problems with CPE 129.

A very good teacher who can get the information across precisely and clearly in the lab. Very easy to talk to and easy going. Helps you out a lot if you need it and explains and clarifies any subject matter you need help with. Labs are pretty easy too. A few that take the whole period but not too difficult, just time consuming. Other than that, he's a good instructor to have for lab

I highly recommend Clarkson for lab. The class was late at night but he was able to get us through the class while learning the material effectively. Often I was introduced to and confused by what was introduced in lecture, but came to clearly understand it in lab with Anton. Labs are graded fairly and quizzes are reasonable. He has extra office hours during finals week where he's willing to help you with the lecture class, but I didn't take advantage of them. I learned a lot in this class. Take Clarkson.

Anton is a great lab instructor. Lab was very interesting and he was always willing to explain and clearly answer any questions.

He's very helpful, will teach you shortcuts for the programs, and grades really easy on the lab reports. If all requirements are fulfilled, you'll get the 70 possible, but you'll rarely get more than 26/30 on your conclusion.

Fine teacher, but a little dry in the presentation. I wouldnt suggest having her at 8:00 in the morning, might be difficult staying awake.
