Howard Milchberg ENEE382 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 01/31/2025	This professor was so good. Like wow, his assignments were so easy, and his exams were one-to-one to the homework. If you want a free A, go ahead and take this professor!
Patrick O'Shea ENEE382 Expecting a B Anonymous 12/17/2024	Absolutely great Professor, the way this class was structured that we didn't have any midterms instead we had 10 quizzes in which they were conducted almost every week which is wonderful because all you need to know for a quiz is what you learned that week/previous. Besides quizzes which was like 50% of our grade, he also had 10 homework assignments assigned which were due before the corresponding quiz and usually the homework assignments were harder than the quizzes which prepared you really well for the quiz. It was very common to have the same questions from the homework which made things more easier. Homework assignments were about 25% of our grade and were the ones I really had to put much time on. TAs were kinda harsh graders on the homework and quite the opposite on the quizzes which was great. The other 25% of our grade was the Final which was open note and the easiest final I took to date, questions mostly came from the homework assignments and 2 practice exams he gave us, there were 9 questions and he asked us to do 6 of them. Overall a fantastic professor don't look anywhere else if you are taking this class if you consider you are concerned about your grade. Also Im not sure he curved the final or the class but this is because almost everyone did well in the class. This class is a great class with not much workload if you want to take it with other harder classes like ENEE 324, 350, 322 ...
Patrick O'Shea ENEE382 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/18/2024	Great prof. Teaches concepts well and doesn't focus on the mathematics behind it. Only Quizzes with no exams besides the final. Do the HW and Quizzes and you will do well.
Wesley Lawson ENEE382 Expecting an A Anonymous 06/14/2024	Goated professor. This is the third time I have had Lawson (205 Spring 23, 200 Winter 24 and 382 Summer 24) and I can honestly say that if you actually go to class he is one of the best professors you can have for any of these 3 classes. I never went to 205, which resulted in a poor final grade, however he will tell you almost exactly what to expect on each and every quiz. There are no midterms in any of his classes, replaced by quizzes throughout the semester. If class attendance is bad, as it was in my 205 section, he will straight up give extra credit just for coming to class or answering basic questions. Final was very fair and he basically went over all the content on the final in lecture. He appreciates participation which I can respect and he is a fantastic professor to learn from. I don't find electromagnetics (382) very interesting as it is extremely physics based, however he makes it enjoyable and tries to relate real world examples from his many years in the field to course material. 10/10 would recommend.
Wesley Lawson ENEE382 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/23/2024	One of the few goated professors at UMD and kept it real with us. I will admit, ENEE382 is very challenging as I am not interested in electromagnetics, however, Lawson made it bearable for us. As this was only the 2nd semester of ENEE382's existence, I feel as if my review may be a bit biased in a positive way. Nonetheless, this was my experience with the course: Lawson followed his typical style of grading, 25% for HW, 25% for final, and 50% for weekly quizzes. The homework was typically 4 problems and very doable, as they were similar to the lecture slides. Weekly quizzes were not bad either, as they were based off of one problem from the previous homework assignment. Lastly, the final exam followed a similar format to previous exams he provided for us. The only con I would say is that Lawson is very soft spoken, which made it challenging to pay attention in class. Nonetheless, most of the material was abstract to me, so I feel that could have been the case for any professor. Overall, I enjoyed my experience in 382 due to Lawson teaching it and how he helped the class tremendously.
