I took circuit lab with Professor Ouyang and I literally dreaded going to class each week. As someone going into this lab with not a ton of hands on knowledge or experience with circuits, he made me feel stupid for asking questions and I had no motivation to learn the material. He is very confusing with expectations as well. We have two formal lab reports and the first one he did not communicate what he wanted at all, most people I know got a 50-60 on a major assignment. If you knew what you were doing in this lab, great, but if you didn't, good luck because getting help is impossible. I will say he is pretty understanding with sickness/missing lab so that was a plus. |

It takes a while to get used to his accent, but once you do he's a pretty good teachers. Lectures can be boring; i often did homework during lecture. However, he uses detailed powerpoints and will post them online so you can look over them. There are random lecture quizzes, but just for completing them you get a 9/15 so they help boost your grade a little. Also the weekly problems you get for hw are often taken right from the book, so take a look in the book to see if there is anything in there that might help you solve the problem. Also Min makes sure that students know he cares about their grade and wants to help them succeed, and this was good to have from a professor. |

It really depends on who you get for your ta. My ta was not at all useful, didn't answer questions and explained things poorly. But he curved well. Use what you learn from the first lab (error propagation) and use it for all the other labs (for error calculations). |

Lab is very tedious and boring. Too much error analysis and not enough seeing actual applications of real world problems. The class depends on your TA. |

The difficulty of this class really depends on your TA. My TA explained everything about the lab and answered any questions which arose. Once again, this class really depends on your TA. |

This lab is pretty decent. Once you get the experiment going, it's pretty easy to see how the concepts from 260 apply, so it is beneficial in terms of providing a real-world example. However, the technicalities of the course can be confusing--how to use the random equipment they have set up each week, how to enter difficult formulas into the excel spreadsheets, how to calculate errors, etc. Overall, not that bad, but the explanations need to be a bit clearer on some things. |

This class was very tedious and time consuming but I had an awesome TA who made it bearable. The culminating labs were not bad since we all worked together. |

For a what can be a tough class, a pretty good professor. He's really helpful whenever you ask him questions, and his exams are of middling difficulty. |
