Overall average course. Vale had pretty good lectures and notes to follow off of. Stay on top of the work or you will be behind. Midterm and final featured questions never covered in class or any old tests. Thevenin and Norton transformations were taught poorly. This course is easier than electrical devices though, good luck!

Course was just a mess, her notes were just everywhere and when you looked back on it you couldn't tell what the hell you just wrote. Mind you she did just come from Waterloo and didn't know what we knew and we did know, but still. You either learn by yourself or go see her every day after class to figure out what the shit you just did it seemed like. Hopefully this year would be better... Good luck for all of you.

I have this right now. I'm one of about a dozen people who passed the midterm. The test had an average of somewhere around 25%. The midterm was worth 35% and we had never seen any of the material in class. The prof is a huge douche bag. If you have flexibility for when you can take this course try to get in when Gregori isn't the prof. I don't know how this guy is allowed teaching. He's an embarrassment to the University and the SOE at Guelph.

Stay on top of the work load or you can be in big trouble fast.
