Reviews of professor Andrew Pagnon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class was substantially more work for one unit than any one of my three unit ECE classes. Prof Pagnon's lab lectures were extremely clear though and I felt that I understood the concepts much more clearly in his ECE3101L class than I did in the non-lab three unit class. Long reports require a hefty weekly time commitment but it's worth it.

The Best ECE Professor at CPP. He is for sure the best lecturer so far for me at CPP. I took him for 2200 and 3101L. Professor Pagnon's class is definitely not easy at all. However, if you are down to actually learn for your career then he is the one. His lecture is easy to understand, he enjoys drawing to make it easy to imagine and understand.

This professor actually sparked my passion for this entire major. He's easily one of the best lecturers in the ECE department. He's a little sadistic with his quizzes and exams, but grades very generously. Go to office hours!! He cares a lot and is always willing to help. He doesn't ever make you feel bad for asking simple questions.

If you are ready to learn the material, and actually understand stuff then Professor Pagnon's class is definitely it. He is a gifted lecturer. His lecture is easy to understand because he draws and does a lot of examples. His test is tough but manageable if you pay attention in class, keep practicing in class examples and homework

Pagnon's class is very lecture heavy based, hw is worth little but you won't get the quizzes if you don't do it. Expect the quizzes to be relevant but a curve ball. Quizzes and tests are hard but he curves each one based on class performance and then will curve the whole class at the end. His office hours are more helpful if you can attend them

The labs are very difficult and you will probably have to stay the entire class and ask many questions to figure out the code. His lectures are pretty helpful at explaining the concepts and if you show understanding of the concepts in your lab report you should pass fine. He knows a lot about the subject and tries to help you figure it out.

ECE2200 itself is very difficult and time-consuming. If you didn't understand 1101 you'll have a lot of catch-up to do. Pagnon, however, is fantastic. He's super chill and gave really understandable and useful lectures. He's also incredibly patient and is really good at explaining concepts and isn't demeaning at all if you ask basic questions.

He's a great professor. His teaching style is very simple and you basically do lots of examples in class and then do a harder example on the quiz. You have to really pay attention and practice, but he definitely makes it easier with great lectures
