Worst class ever taken. Tests were far too hard.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Taught the most poorly ran course, ECE 201. Whats on his exams is anyones guess. Doesnt interact with students. Says he is an engineer yet he couldnt dim the lights so we spent half our lectures in the dark. Extremely sarcastic and condescending. Class structure is chaos. Doesn't answer his piazza page. Has a bird picture taking hobby. Not bad.

Prof Janaswamy's teaching method for an undergraduate course like 201, needs to be more hands on in approach;The course itself is very well designed by him i.e. he goes over all the important mathematical tools required in ECE. His notes if typed in Latex would be the GOLD STANDARD, instead it is hard to learn from them because they are handwritten

Homework is much easier than exam problems, lectures are essentially him just reading the textbook and doing little examples.

Very little to prepare from for exams. Homework and textbook problems do little to prepare you as they are too easy compared to the exams which are far to difficult. Lectures are a pain as there are almost no examples and no clarification. Entire class is a mess.

Not a bad professor, truly run of the mill. His lectures were too big-picture / conceptual with a lot of derivations. But self-teaching and attending discussions makes up for it. Seems to care about students and did well remotely. Don't think he deserves the hate he gets, truly just a pretty good guy and an average prof. No need to try to avoid him

He's one of the better professors I have this semester. He's got online teaching down pretty well and explains the material very well. He has clean hand writing and very helpful notes. He also cares about his students (frequently asks how everyone is doing). I wish I had more professors like him.

Good guy. Classes are interesting. HW and exams are insanely difficult. Good scale at the end though.

Worst professor ever, not interested in making you understand what is going on. Class is hard and he doesn't help. Homework is easy but tests are SO hard, and he doesn't give any material to study from for the midterms and finals.

Definitely the hardest class Ive ever taken. HW was really easy, could be done within 2hrs every week and you left every assignment feeling like you understood it, then the tests were crazy hard. Felt like Janaswamy didnt communicate well with the TAs and assistant professor(who is useless, dont bother going to discussion), class was a mess.
