Reviews of professor Phillip Southard

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
One of the best courses at Rutgers ECE to actually prepare you for industry. With that said you got to put in the work. He structures the class so you are NOT thrown into the fire. The book is super useful as a reference. He eases you into VHDL and each lab builds on top of the next. This course will get you a job in industry.

This class was so hard. Your final grade primarily consists of the labs which are graded really harshly and take forever to do. I wouldn't take this class again. Also it wasnt a great learning experience and the TA's were not that helpful.

His class prepares you for the real world. This is a class you take to learn and not to slide by. An easy A if you put in the work.
