William Hawkins ENEE445 Expecting a B Anonymous 03/09/2021	Hawkins is by far one of the least helpful professors at this university. His classes are extremely unorganized to the point where he doesn't even know how to do the work he assigns his students. I know that he is a smart guy with tons of industry experience, but that does not translate well at all into academia. The saving grace of this course is the TA who has been nothing but helpful so far. Hawksin's whole guise as a "helper" is absolutely true, and that is not a good thing. There have been multiple occasions in which he will assign a project for lab and then when asked for clarification, he will simply deflect saying that he hasn't implemented it yet so he doesn't know. His use of the ELMS/Canvas website is awful. No sylabus page, no indication about what he is going to talk about in the weekly lecture, every lab assignment is a separate submission in elms, which wouldn't be a problem if each lab didn't have subparts to be submitted separately. Overall, I would highly recommend you avoid this professor and this course unless you want to spend hours at a time just wondering why you decided to take this course. Hawkins is a nice guy, but that is not enough to carry over to teaching.
