Hate this course so much. I have considered dropping out(not from the school, but from the windows) so many times because this course was crazily difficult. Got 30 for my midterm and went to prof begging him to re mark my exam. He watched me crying for 1 hours and gave me 31. I really want to k*** him. I am in year 4 now but I still dream of this nightmare course

Will be the toughest course of the semester. Don't slack on it!

The Pearson questions where extremely fair.

This course sucks. Dr. Borji did not make it better. Boring lectures, confusing slides, midterm average was in the ballpark of 45-50. Crammed the whole course the night before the final exam. Got a decent mark overall, despite a 50 on the midterm.

I'm bad at physics in general and the prof does a bad job explaining. Assignments are unfair, everything is taught from the textbook but not well explained.

How is Dayan Ban? 5 points, 5 comments
u/goatece: “I have to retake ECE106, turns out that I can take the nano equivalent for that course in NE241. Anyone that had him as a professor, I was wondering how is Dayan Ban like, in terms of his exams, teaching, marking, etc?”
