ENEE381 Expecting an A- Anonymous 01/01/2021 |
He's nice, but his lectures are very dry, and jam-packed with information/equations. On top of that, he goes lightning quick if no one asks questions to slow him down. That being said, he's a lenient grader (at least for 381). All in all, ENEE381 is pretty much PHYS260/270 on steroids. |

Antonsen was a good professor for the most part. His lectures tend to be boring but he's good at explaining the material if you manage to pay attention. The exams were alright, a combination of straightforward problems and ones we've never seen (but doable given the stuff he talked about in class). He curves generously in the end. |

I took PHYS270 and ENEE380/380H with Dr. Antonsen. Physics was alright - the class itself is an odd mashup of material that was mostly very boring. Antonsen did a good job of making it bearable, often injecting humor into the giant 300 person lectures. 380 was interesting and often very challenging - this semester the lecture was both honors and non-honors at the same time. The honors kids and regular students did exactly the same thing. I don't think I'd recommend taking this type of mixed class if you aren't doing honors - its just more challenging for non honors students who end up doing extra work they never signed up for. Antonsen was way more boring in 380 - maybe that's just the material though. Dr. Antonsen is a good professor and a pretty solid choice for physics. Take Waks if you can for 380, though. |

This guy isn't that bad when you get down to the root. This is his first semester teaching this course, so I don't know if he will teach it in the future. Dr. Antonsen is actually from the Electrical engineering department, so what he is really good with in this course is explaining circuits. That was one of the concepts that I understood very easily, especially because he was able to explain it in such a clear way. Exams were moderately difficult, just about as hard as a physics exam should be. The problems aren't plug and chug, but also aren't super difficult (though quite a few people found them hard) Basically, read your textbook, go to class (sometimes I doze off given the driness of the subject), and do some practice problems, and you should be fine. Overall, he's a great guy. |
