Hsieh's class is not hard, but he is not very clear on instructions and changes them the week before a big assignment is due. Also, he gives wrong information to study for the tests. He is not clear what grades you make and seems to change them for no reason. He does not respond to emails. You probably will end up making a good grade read the book.

Not a very demanding class, sweet professor that likes to talk a lot, and light homework. We're given a semester long group project that's basically all of our work, and he goes over basically the entirety of what's on the tests/quizzes/final the class prior. Attendance is mandatory but it's really hard to fail, or even get below an A.

Very professional professor with real experiences in engineering field. We had one group project throughout the semester to prepare and present in front of the class. He really cares about how the students will study to become an engineer in the future. His expectations and instructions are clear so students won't be confused. Take this class!

Professor Jurrong Hsieh's Circuits (2305) class is engaging and supportive, especially considering that he holds 2–3 individual check-ins per semester. He also rewards participation with extra credit and provides strong reviews for the finals. If you want to succeed in this class, however, make sure to review his provided examples. A great choice!

For Circuits Lab (2105), the hardest part was keeping up with the lab reports. In total, there are about 6 reports to be written, with each containing 1-4 labs. As long as you have a knowledgeable lab assistant, there is no need to study for the lab--but make sure to read up on the labs prior to attending. Exams are just redos of previous labs.

The class was easy, and the professor is respectable, as he shares a lot of his experience. You do need to read a lot, though, and there's a group project, so good luck with your teammates. Overall, he's an easy grader, and the tests will be covered thoroughly, so no need to worry.

Dr. Juurong Hsieh is the best teacher I've ever had. His way of teaching engineering is clear, engaging, and inspiring. He makes complex ideas easy to understand and truly cares about his students. I'm grateful for everything I learned in his class and for the impact he had on me.

I can honestly say Dr. Hsieh is my favorite professor thus far in my education journey. He is not the type of professor that assigns textbook readings and has you fill out worksheets to prove you've read the chapters. He shares his personal experiences in the field and cares for your success. The only way to fail his class is by trying to fail.

Professor Hsieh is very caring and provides constructive feedback. If you take notes and follow his instructions, you will perform well on the mid-term and final exams. A group project counts for 30% of your grade, and he also offers extra credit opportunities. I believe this is an easy A class.
