Reviews of professor Ashwin Parthasarthy

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The course material is only the slides that he provides. He couldn't mention any name of a proper book in case we need extra clarification. The topics are all random and not chronological at all. Does not have any standard grading system. Would not recommend this course.

Very helpful professor. Class is a lot of work and time consuming as it includes a lab too. Tests and Quizzes are usually from the slides and test conceptual knowledge more than anything.

Ashwin made this difficult class alot more manageable. He is very in tune with technology, so canvas/online material is not a problem for this guy. When the pandemic hit, he was one of the only engineering professors to adapt smoothly to online teaching, and this class is not even made for online! Choose Ashwin over Ferekides if you have the choice

Definitely one of the better EE professors at USF, guy really cares about you and your education. His teaching style, and lectures really helped drive home electromagnetics and his grades are fair. I think labs can be tedious, but since they're worth 1/4 of your grade it all works out. He'll go the extra mile for you if you put in some effort.

The course is not at all beneficial for EE students, maybe it is more for Biomed students. There was a lot of homework and even a project which helps sharpen programming skills but also ends up leaving you exhausted after spending incredible time on them. Overall, I do not feel I took away much from the course.

One of the best professors I have ever had! The class itself is really dense and boring but Dr. Parthasarthy somehow makes it easier to understand. I somehow managed to get a B and he is probably the only reason that was even possible. Great professor!
