This class was really rough as an online class. Having only posted lectures (usually posted at odd times) did not help students feel able to ask questions or approach the professor with concerns. The videos were usually difficult to understand or didn't go into depth on topics, and rarely showed examples that were useful. He kept saying "This is a midterm-level example" on easy problems but the midterms were absolutely unbelievable (first was a lot worse than second). I didn't think his lectures were that bad, but I never understood things the first time and only got them after reviewing notes a bunch and doing the homework with help from Chegg. Proctored exams were rough and need to be improved to run them more smoothly. On the plus side, I think the materia is pretty cool but is not helped by this guy.

I would tell you this professor basically insists you learn everything yourself, but it looks like all the other reviews already have. He's also incredibly intolerant of individual challenges, sickness or any other occurrences that might affect your ability to attend according to his preferences. Notably, this strict attitude was present in the coronavirus crisis. He doesn't particularly give the impression he cares about the students, just insists you study and figure it out.

This is the most unaccommodating, careless professor I have ever had. He has done nothing to help his students extra throughout this entire pandemic, and has done the absolute bare minimum he can to accommodate for the final, while every other professor in the entire school has made optional and "no harm" finals. He literally sent an email saying he won't make the final optional because he doesn't want students to get an A that would get a B after taking the final. He literally does not want his students to do well even in such a horrible, dire situation when all we need is help. To put it lightly, this class has been nothing short of miserable this entire quarter.

Overall a very straightforward lab. Depending on your classes progress you'll be doing 4-5 experiments where each will take around 1-3 weeks to complete. For each lab, the professor will go over the required theory and give a short explanation on the general approach for each lab. He gives enough explanation where you'll have little to no problem completing the lab in ~2-6 hours. And his slides and the departments lab manual give enough guidance in case you get lost. He also uses Piazza if you're wondering. You will need to download a software to do the labs, but don't worry about that since the software is easy to install and use.

For this lab, you'll have to write up a lab report for each experiment and there will be 3 quizzes. According to his syllabus the reports are 60% and quizzes 40% of your overall grade. The lab reports are very easy to do and only take a few hours to complete. All you do is paste your results, paste a picture of your set up, and answer some discussion questions. The quizzes are pretty straightforward, just make sure you memorize the equations on his slides and you'll be fine. The questions involve little bit of algebra and mainly plug and chug. He gives you 20 minutes to complete the quiz however.

If you want a A, make sure you get perfect or near perfect scores (>95%) on all quizzes where almost everyone will do well on the report so your grade will depend on each of your quiz grades. Mess up one, you lost your chance for a A. He should grade in a straight scale, but since a lot of people does well, he curves down.

He takes some time getting used to, especially his humor and accent. But his lectures are straightforward and he does a lot of example problems in lecture. I ended up not going, though, because the textbook and HW was enough for me to learn the material. That and our TA Mohsen always did the problems in discussion anyway. Understanding the HW is key to doing well on the midterms and final. However he generally ups the difficulty on tests. The final consisted of 13 problems for us, but the score would be out of 11 problems (basically like extra credit). Some problems are ridiculously easy and are pulled straight from HW and the textbook, but some are just downright difficult.

One other gripe I have is the quantum leap from regular circuits to op amps in the last week of class. I mean, just...wtf. They become clearer, but you have to invest the effort to understand them, just like the rest of this class. Overall, Mesghali is a notch above the average EE professor, so if you put in the effort, you shouldn't have too much of an issue.

Best EE 110L professor there is. His lectures before the lab are very helpful and quizzes are pretty straightforward. Don't let the first quiz throw you off though. It was ridiculously easy, while the second one was much longer and somewhat harder. Just study his lectures before the lab and you'll do fine on the quizzes. And if you have a great TA like Abhijeet, you'll do well on the lab reports too.

Mesghali is pretty cool, and funny at times. He might be a little hard to understand, but the class was much better than what I thought it would be like. I'd take him again if I could. The only really bad thing about him is that whenever you do bad on a quiz, he kinda gets mad at you for not knowing the concepts well enough. Other than that, he's really helpful as he usually likes to help students with their circuits in case problems arise.

This guy is very straight forward lecturer.
His homework is very decent, but not too bad.
The thing is that it is up to your effort.
So far, his class is very straight forward from the text.
During his lecture, he does lots of example problems.

Good prof for 110L.

If you get AJ as your TA (will be listed as JOSHI, A.C.) you're in luck. He does all the grading and is really generous. Most people get 95+ on every lab. He also helps a lot if youre running into problems for your lab.

He lectures a bit in the beginning of each lab then lets you do the lab. His lectures lay out exactly what you need to do each lab and probably wehat you need to know for the quizzes. People ended up just taking pictures of the whiteboard with their phones.

There are quizzes throughout the quarter which he will tell you the dates of. First one is a joke. For the other two just make sure you review (20 minutes should do it..) the labs that the quiz covered. Concepts, calculations, etc.

Prof is very generous for course grades.

Despite his accent, he makes things understandable for the most part and offers a leaner and more concise explanation of material from the book. The book itself is quite good, though it may contain information that won't be on exams. His analogies are pretty amusing, and regards exams as "D-days" and calls back to the "World War 2" times. The final exam this quarter was bonecrushing hard, but the class is curved.
