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.
