Reviews of professor Andrew Pagnon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Easiest EGR 4810 professor. Literally 7 5-minute long assignments, 1 presentation, and 1 paper on the presentation. Everyone presents on the same topic. Very basic stuff and pretty much the same as ECE 4064. If you get a chance take Pagnon for both 4064 and 4810 at the same time. He will half the work you have to do. AMAZING

Pagnon is caring, but also sadistic. He has great lectures but doesn't go through many examples. Weekly quizzes are hard, and he challenges you in a way hard to explain. 1 Exam and final, which he curves by question. Will also curve class avg to a B unless class avg is already a B. Weekly quizzes are a large part of grade, but lowest he gives is 70

Knowledgeable, draws and explains (no textbook), lectures were recorded for online, hw not graded but recommended, weekly "good effort" assignments, tough quizzes and exams but has a curve, always answers question even about the industry

There are only 7 lab reports, but each one is several dozen pages long. The lab reports contain MATLAB, lab images, and simulink. Only having the data will get you 70s, you must put explanations for every single thing to at least get a 90. Besides that, he is a helpful professor who has some of the best lectures in the whole ECE department.

He gives a lecture for every lab. I promise you will learn the material much better than any other lecture professor out there. He gives examples, drawings, and explanations to make sure everyone understands the material. He will go around to check on everyone, look at your result, and help you to understand the result to be ready for the report.

This was a really tough class but professor Pagnon thoroughly explained every type of concept we could face in quizzes and exams in an easily understood, step-by-step process in the lectures. Exams were more challenging than quizzes so that you would still have to do some extra thinking even if you knew the material. A great experience overall.

Pagnon is one of the best lecturers in the ECE department. This lab is a ton of work, but focus on explaining the concepts at hand clearly. Without meaningful comments, a B is the best you'll get. All in all, this lab was a great learning experience on DSP. Get ready to work and don't expect that you're owed an A for simply turning in a report.

Professor Pagnon is one of the few Professors at Cal Poly Pomona who has a gift for teaching! He cares that you understand the material you are learning and wants students to be able to commuicate what they have learned through lab reports, which is a great skill to develop. He is very accessible and replies to emils even late at night. Best Prof!
