"Follow the Berry.....and your life will be Merry!" Pay close attention to the way he says certain things like azzume, or his favorite go-to transition (ok..SO!), and if u have the patience, count the number of times he asks if u follow. This prof is one of the best comics ive come accross to date!

Both classes are self consuming & require long hours of study, so don't expect to learn everything from the professor bc you won't. He's much easier & nicer than SUTTON. Also, be nice to him & make sure he likes u!! That will add extra points to ur final grade. Berry is REALLY funny as hell!

Berry is the BEST ECE professor out there! I dont understand why people dissing him. He explains everything in full detail and makes sure you understand concept before moving on. Sure, he speaks with funny accent, but his jokes are so funny & he is LAID BACK like crazy. He is better than you think!

look u can't expect a goof grade if u don't work for it...make sure u do the homeworks before taking his exams, other than that ur fine...cause he'll notice if u shine in grades and/or at participation in class...and that's when u become his fave.

Interesting character. Has the whole class laughing at least once per session. Explains very carefully and does not get frustrated even when someone is practically unteachable. Yes, we had some SLOW folks. Bends over backwards to help you if you are having trouble, so if you do not do well you have only yourself to blame. Highly recommended.

He sometimes gives very good lectures, but most of the times, he goes off topic and talk about other things in the world. When time runs out, I ended up have to read the book myself to understand the material. Very hard test. If you are lost in this class, go read the text book. It's your best friend.

Dr. Berry is a good teacher. He does not pass every slacker that comes in but if you go to class, do ALL the homework and pay attention then you WILL learn circuits and pass his class. Having Berry then Sutton, I much prefer Berry. Also, he is a tough guy and will not make things easy for you but he has good intentions and wants you to learn.

He's a really nice guy, and willing to help you if you ask for it. His class is hard, but he knows that and accounts for it in grading. Almost always adds curves to the tests.

Really nice and helpful professor. Always willing to guide you. Even though he is not clear at teaching, if you understand all the home work problems one can easily get a B or higher. All his tests are based on HW added a little change. His theoretical hw problems are hopeless. He is pretty unclear when he assigns theoretical question.

This class is infamous for being very difficult but Berry explains things very well and cares for his students, he encourages people to come to his office even when it's not his office hours. He wants you to struggle and work hard to really learn the material. He can get annoyed if one asks him a question he already answered. Overall good professor

Best Professor you will have ever! hands down he is hard but he cares more than any professor I have had does and wants you to succeed not only in class but in life. If all professors were as good as he is gmu would be like MIT.

People complain when Dr.Berry says to read the book but that's because its impossible to cover the material when people keep asking simple questions that are answered in the reading To do well make sure you can do all of in class examples and homework problems. As long as you stay above the class average you will pass.

This professor is great, I don't understand why people put him down. He may be a bit fast at times and he may not cover the information very clearly at times as well, but if you honestly read the book and work out all the practice problems, examples, and homework problems, you will do well. Good teacher overall!

good teacher.

My friend, if you do not remember the ECE 280 material and you come to ECE 333, God bless. Read the book!

Sets very high expectations, and does everything in his power to help you meet them. Lots of homework and quizzes, but it was necessary for this course to keep everyone on track. I won't hesitate to sign up for his classes in the future.

Pros: Extremely helpful and willing to help motivated students. Cons: Everything is graded strictly and quite subjectively. Even if you know the material absolutely cold, you may get mediocre scores because the grader didn't like your explanation. So complete mastery of the material may not produce good grades... very frustrating and disappointing.

His tests and pop-quizzes are pretty much taken from the book. I did fall asleep at times (9am class), but I was still able to understand the material by reading the book. Be sure to get him to like you though (show up and be nice). That helps in the long run. There was also an Op-Amp group project that we had to do. Get a good partner for that.

Pretty good professor. Make sure to write your Gnumber correctly and turn in impeccable homeworks. For exams: they are the same questions as the homework questions. For 285 the multiple choice on exams was taken from the book multiple choice questions. Just go to class, do the readings, memorize the HW and you should get an A.

This professor's teaching style is best. He is helpful to student. His quiz policy is not good. If you study beginning to end of the book, there is no way you can fail his class. There are some myths about him in students, but they are all just "MYTHS". Exams come from HWs,QUIZZEs and BOOK EXERCISEs. I recommend him. Again, down side is "Quiz".

Dr. Berry is a great professor despite all of the petty complaints you might hear about him. Yes he tells you read the book, because you should. Yes he holds you accountable for what you're supposed to know, because you should know it. He just wants the students to learn and do well. What's wrong with that?

Dr Berry is always helpful. He requires hard from each student in all of his classes. If you read book, do all examples and hws from book by yourself, you will get guaranteed A. I highly enjoyed his teaching style. If you are lazy and procrastinator, dont take dr berry.

This course is tough but I really enjoyed Dr. Berry's class. This guy knows his tough and he is very helpful. Dr. Berry will appreciate you if you read the material before going to class so that you can answer some of his questions and so that he doesn't have to explain everything in the lecture. His exams come from homework problems and examples.

Excellent professor. The course is based on the textbook entirely. As long as you know how all the homework problems are done and all the examples in the chapter, you should get a good grade. Make sure to know the review problems for the final -- half of the final is based on that.

I've had Berry for ECE 285, 286, 333, and 433 not by choice. In the beginning, I dreaded attending classes , but overtime I really appreciated him. He caters to the class and writes the exam accordingly. For some exams, he'll even ask the class if we want a certain chapter to be on the exam or not. Old school style of teaching, but well worth it

Dr. Berry is so nice and seems to genuinely care. He relies heavily on his lecture notes (reads off them in class). He's willing to answer questions and has office hours. Bc notes are on BB, attendance isn't necessary except for CW/pop-quizzes. If you do the HW and txtbk prax problems, you should be ok! Exams are fair and expectations clear!

Prof. Berry genuinely cares about his students succeeding, and if he sees you putting the work in he'll pass you even if you don't do well on the tests. He rewards improvement between the midterm and final. He also has an open door policy, you can go to his office for questions whenever you want. This & 286 are challenging and a lot of work though

Dr. Berry is one of the best ECE profs at Mason. He is always available outside of class, his teaching is straightforward: theory then solving several types problems, and he is caring. Sometimes he does skip steps when solving problems but he'll go over it in office hours if asked. Exams are based off of homework and class notes.

He's not that bad as people make it sound. Exam questions come directly from the homework or lecture slides. Class works that had to submitted the same day they were assigned were a bit annoying but not that bad. Ultimately, ece286 and ece333 are hard classes and the only way you'll get good at the topics covered is by putting in a lot of work.

Alok Berry is an amazing professor my favorite at Mason so far! The class is hard you must “read the book” it is very helpful.

I am mainly writing this to warn you about the 3500 word report required for this class. Besides that, Dr. Berry is a nice guy, I recommend going to his office hours. His exams are fair. He does give same day assignments, but they are typically easy and he will do 90% of the problem in class. Speaking of, really try not to skip his class.
