Reviews of professor Gustavo Chaparro

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The professor did a good job teaching the course. The problem with the course is that you cover a lot of material in a short space of time (6 weeks). There were 3 major group projects and a take home finals. If you plan to take other classes along with this class it can and do get stressful. Your best bet is to join a group with 4 or more members

This is the second class I have taken with Dr. Chaparro and He is the Best! I think the presentations we give is great practice for skills needed for grad school. I love the projects and the variety we get in the class in addition to the fundamental knowledge available in his structured lectures. I like how the slides are available online.

Study, study, study if you're not familiar with C. Lectures are helpful, but you should also use other resources to grasp the material. Quizzes were a bit hard, but the final project was easy to do! Despite a bit of a wait, he will get back to you. Not strict at all and easy-going. Overall, he's a good professor and I would take him again.

He gives you alot of chances to bring up your grade, hes open to push back due dates if students struggle and is generally quite friendly and homely. give him a try, youll probably like him

If you practice programming C then you should do fine in the class. The workload is good and there is a group project. The only thing I did not enjoy was that MatLab was taught for the final section and it was included in the final. It's hard for someone who just started to code to remember two languages.

Heavy subject but Professor Chaparro made it easy. He is more focused on your learning than the actual grades Keep the flow and you will pass without issues.

If you have a programming background, EEL2880 will be an easy A for you. However if this is your first Programming class it will be quite difficult. Gustavo is basically unreachable outside of class time. I emailed him every day for nearly 2 weeks about a question I had for a project and he only got back to me 3 minutes before the assign. was due!

Took circuits lab as an online class with him. SUPER easy to pass! He is very fair with grading and does not expect too much from students. Labs are easy and well explained, final project is open ended and easy to do as well. Overall very easy lab.

Good professor. Sets out the assignments ahead of time. Majority of the work is group assignments. As long as you work hard, you should do fine. However, grades assignments and exams late.

Professor Chaparro is very helpful. Class was difficult but he made it very easy. He really cares about his students. I will definitely take him again.
