FAQ

  1. Q: Are Your Exams open or closed book?
    A: Closed Book, closed notes
  2. Q: Do you grade on a curve?
    A: Yes, I curve final grades at the end of the semester
  3. Q: What is the difference between electrical and computer engineering?
    A: Electrical is the study of electrical & electronic phenomena and their
    applications to production, transmission and modulation of electrical energy
    in any system while computer eng targets computer systems specifically.
  4. Q: Do you grade homework?
    A: Generally not, but I strongly advise that you do all homework - several of my
    exam questions come from homework assignments
