Reviews of professor Christopher Fritz

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Class is difficult if ur not good at programming (C++), he forces u to show up to lectures with in-class assignments even tho they arent helpful with the labs or exams, u have to learn everything urself. But theres a lot of extra credit in the programming labs (group projects) to help u pass. Hes nice and caring but doesnt prepare u for anything.

He really knows what he is teaching in the embedded system and VHDL design classes. He structures his class step by step so that at the end of the semester, you are able to apply what you learn in class in the final project. I strongly encourage students to take advantage of this class because the materials are very valuable in today's industry.

Chris Fritz is the absolute best professor at UB. Whatever they are paying him, its not enough. He makes himself available outside of lecture and teaches relevant material as he is a Software Engineer at MOOG. If you ever get the privilege to take a course with him, consider yourself lucky.

Easily the best professor Ive had at UB. Very accessible and responsive to student feedback. Has a clear interest in embedded systems. Provides lots of EC opportunities. Labs were fun. For the final project, we made a simple video game on an ARM processor. The cutoff for an A was 95% when I took 379, but you could easily get over 100% with EC.

Dr. Fritz is the blueprint. His class was organized to give you experience with programming, not pointless homework assignments. Class exercises annoying but did force me to learn. Actually works in industry so he knows what's valuable for students to learn. Opposite of 99% of UB engineering professors who have never left academia. Really helpful.

He is a really good professor. I remembered he was my TA for EE 278. He is an absolute best professor. It sucks that he is a part time professor, but he loves to teach and you can tell he is very passionate about embedded systems.

Dr. Fritz is one of the best professors at UB, I love the way he explains everything clearly. You do need to know a bit of C language to be able to do the labs more comfortably. The two exams are hard indeed. But there are lots of extra credits that could help you pass this class easily. BTW, find a partner that is willing to do work!!!!!

An addition to the heart of the EE Department. Attend class for the in-class quizzes. He has a great team of Student and Teaching Assistants. Do the work. He's there for you and wants you to excel. One of the best Professor's I've had at this school. Great system and a great instructor overall. THE MAN!
