Andre Tits ENEE322H Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/18/2023	Tits had pretty understandable lectures although he did fumble a bit with his words. The concepts weren't very difficult to grasp in lecture itself but I would say the homeworks were pretty rough. They took time to understand and do correctly. He absolutely demolished us on exams however which didn't seem fair at all with no curve whatsoever.
Richard La ENEE322H Anonymous 01/03/2022	Let me begin by saying 322 is likely the most difficult EE course, in my opinion. It's a tough class and requires a lot of computational knowledge. That being said, La didn't do a great job of making the material accessible. Lectures made sense and things clicked. However, exams and homework often seemed to be a lot more involved than the examples given in lectures. Very low exam averages (40s or so), but there is a large curve of the overall grade. I have no issue with his teaching style, but his assignments are stressful to do, especially under a time crunch. He also did leave the class in the dark toward the end of the course in regards to the final grade, final exam preparation, etc., which I don't think helps perceptions of him.
Adrianos Papamarcou ENEE322H Expecting a C Anonymous 01/24/2019	It's a hard course and the professor doesn't provide any motivation for why we are learning the subject. However, the professor is obviously extremely knowledgeable.
Richard La ENEE322H Expecting a B Anonymous 12/07/2015	Dr. La is a pretty good professor. He teaches pretty well and sets a pretty large curve for the class, which he usually ends up lowering. The curve started at an 80% for an A, which was then lowered to a 75%. His tests can be hard, but from what I've heard of other 322 classes, all of the tests are hard. He tells you that he will only assign homework every other week with around 4 problems on them, but he has consistently been giving us homework every week with 6-8 problems on it, which are very time consuming. Also, for the first two midterms he gave us homeworks which covered material that was going to be on the test and set the due date to after the midterm, which meant we didn't have the solutions to study from. Overall I'd say Dr. La is a good backup to Papamarcou if you can't get him.
Andre Tits ENEE322H Expecting an A- Anonymous 01/31/2014	Tits is a pretty good professor. His lectures tended to be "mathy" but not hard to follow. Homeworks were challenging but good practice. He really cares about us and holds review sessions often, he once stayed until 10 pm or so for a review session. Exams in this class were not a joke though, probably because he held us to a high standard. He would send us "disappointment" emails but it showed he cared about us getting better at the material. He curved us fairly and I somehow wound up with an A- even when I got D's on the 2nd exam and final.
Andre Tits ENEE322H Expecting an A- koffe55 01/13/2014	Dr. Tits is an excellent professor who you should strongly consider taking if given the opportunity. He is very caring and kind; you will quickly discover his dedication to making lectures as insightful and informative as possible, often going very deep into the theory (at least for the honors version). That being said, I was a little disappointed by his apparent over-estimation of our abilities on the final exam - it was a shitshow, to say the least. Overall, Dr Tits is an excellent and very approachable lecturer who provided one of the most challenging and informative courses I and most of my classmates had ever experienced. The workload and amount of information can be daunting, even for someone like me who excelled in 222 and genuinely enjoyed the subject matter. If you can handle it, you will find this class to very rewarding in the end.
Alexander Barg ENEE322H Anonymous 12/18/2012	Par for the course. Lectures are decent to good, and homework is fair (6 assignments, a couple of hours a piece). Mixed results on the tests, usually a combination of things we went over and things you've never seen before.
Andre Tits ENEE322H Expecting an A- Anonymous 03/01/2011	His lectures could be somewhat hard to follow if signals isn't your thing (hey. We can't all be signals gods but we do all have to take 322). One thing is certain, though, he really cares about his students and wants them to learn the material. He is more than happy to help you if you show up to office hours. Contrary to what some have said below, he is actually quite generous with grades provided you expend some effort yourself.
