Reviews of professor Arthur Ball

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Ball is one of the best professors in the ECE department, hands down. I've had him for both 1004 and 2024, and both times I've come out with an appreciation of how well he lectures. On top of that, he's just a good person and genuinely cares about his students. Take him whenever you can; I promise you won't regret it!

Dr. Ball is the best professor for this course, I had lectures by Cooper and Dunning when Dr. Ball was out (with Covid-19, and receiving an award). This course is challenging, no question, but that is part of ECE. Don't listen to the 1/5 ratings, Dr. Ball will try to make sure you understand the material. Note: Office hours never hurt.

Great professor and great lecturer. Very smart, sometimes expects more than students can handle. Relates material to real life, knows everything there is to know about circuits. Friendly and helpful. A class you will have to work hard in but a fantastic professor nonetheless. Difficult course work but he's very easy to talk to about it.

Overall Dr. Ball had pretty good lectures and I liked that he had a class of review before each exam. However, some of his explanations were not ideal for someone who has no background in the subject. Sometimes it really felt like he did not want us to ask questions either. If you want a good grade, be prepared to work hard for it.
