Not that bad of a teacher, needs more examples of problems that he would put on a test, not just practice problems from the book, they are to easy. Practice test kind of resemblem the test, but not to much. he needs to make test easier.

Dr J is an awesome teacher. He dosent go by the text a lot, which is good, as his methods make it 10x easier to solve the same problems. DONT GET ON HIS BAD SIDE!

Great Professor...as you can see by everyone's posts. All I have to say is make sure that you do you homework ahead of time...each assignment is worth 70points and tests are 100. Each homework is almost worth as much as a test...they can add up really quick if you half-a** them.

He prefers to be called Dr. J but we called him Dr. Dirty Tricks, Dr. DT for short. Why? Cause he threw some dirty tricks at us on the second mid-term and final! He is also one of the best professors I've ever had. Entertains the class, tells you what you need to know. Attend all classes! Do all HW!

Brother make sure you know about football when you come to class otherwise Dr. J will write your name on the board and -10 next to it.That is only if he can understand your name, you can get away if he doesn't. He'll make you and the rest of the class laugh about it. Or maybe cry from too much laughing. Nothing certain, only that he is AWESOME.

This guy rocks, but be warned, his off topic banter during class, while entertaining, usualy manages to offend someone every term. He is very helpful during office hours, if you can keep him from talking about football the whole time, and trust me, he will talk about football A LOT! This guy is a lot of fun, not an easy class, but a great prof.

NOT A GOOD TEACHER! He comes late to class, leaves early, talks about fishing/football more than EE. Assigned homework that was literally impossible. Between 30-90 mins late to office hours. Doesnt comminucate with TAs. HE DOESN'T TEACH, HE "ENTERTAINS". If you don't know the material already you're screwed. WORST TEACHER YOU'll EVER HAVE!

Dr. J is a great guy and all, but be careful if you go in to dispute a grade. I brought in my homework to argue for more points on a problem, but after he corrected the mistake he went on to review the rest of the assignment, where he found other mistakes for which he subtracted the points he had given me earlier!

Absolutely no respect for undergrads. He knows a bunch of students in ENGR201 aren't EEs and think the class is pointless, and he teaches accordingly. Because he isn't focused and willing to TEACH learning the material is very difficult.

Dr. J is by far my favorite professor ever. He is absolutely hilarious! As far as the class goes, if you are an EE it is very easy. The midterm averages were about 85%. If you aren't an EE (like me)... DONT take the class during the fall term with all the EEs. It is much more difficult, especially if you don't like circuits!

Dr. J is highly entertaining, never a boring moment in his class. The actual content of his lectures leaves a little bit to be desired.
