03/16/2024 		I took ENEE290 in Fall 2023 and JaJa was a good professor. It was the second semester of the class being run and the course was structured to alternate between diff eq and linear algebra. His lecturing was very monotone but if you can get past that, you'll find that his lectures are helpful and he wants you to succeed. When introducing new topics, he generally took us through the derivation for a particular method, be it for diff eq or linear algebra, which I didn't find terribly helpful, but it's there if you learn better like that. Some topics took a few lectures to stick, like when we started covering eigenvalues and eigenspaces in the linear algebra units, but in general, if you know what to ask about, he will try his best to clear any confusion, so much so to the point that when almost the entire class got a question wrong on the first exam, he spent the next lecture taking us through how to answer it properly. The exams were quite easy and covered mostly more recent content. Homework assignments were split between mathy assignments, which I felt were significantly harder than class content and exams, and MATLAB "labs." There was no curve for the class. Overall 3.5/5.

06/05/2023 		This was the first semester of ENEE290 and it went pretty well. It covered basic Differential Equations while also going into Linear Algebra. I will say, La did a lot of derivations in his lectures, just to end up on a formula that you didn't really need the derivation for. La definitely cared about our grades and would always ask to see if we were understanding the material. MATLAB's weren't that hard and the TA was always helpful. Homeworks were fair and not too complicated. The two midterms were very fair and not too challenging. I will say the final had a lot to do and it was hard to get everything done in time, but the class was pre-curved and an 80% was an A. I don't know what future semesters of this class will be like, but he first semester went pretty well and I think it was a bit easier than the MATH246 alternative and we learned all the fundamentals that we needed to.
