Cons: Very very very boring.
Very dry.
Mumbles.
Goes over everything too fast
He is a nice guy. Very old. His classes are a nap. He will bore you and mumbles everything so hard to understand him. But if you can somehow manage to pay attention you can probably understand what he says. The thing is this course is actually pretty easy. Just read the book, and get help from khan academy if the book isnt helping and then there is the recitation TA's etc. But its hard to focus in this guys class and probably cant get much out.
Cons: extremely boring, does not know how to explain a lot of things
This class overall was fairly challenging but by no means impossible. I didn't think that I would end up sleeping through about half of his lectures, but I did. I don't even know why I went to his lectures. I learned a whole lot more from reading his powerpoint slides (that he posts online) and skimming the book. That's pretty much how I got through this course. I did do the homework pretty last minute, but it wasn't really to unmanageable to do so. Don't waste your time going to lecture (go only during the weeks of exams for his reviews, which are okay). Read the powerpoint slides and skim the book.
Cons: He should stay away from technology that does not include MATLAB
He was a good teacher in an actual classroom. He taught my lab section, and he made mreo sense in there than he did in the actual lecture. It think he feels more confident in front of a blackboard/markerboad than he does with a projector. He'd be an example of why we wouldn't want technology in a classroom.
Cons: Very old man, gets boring. Makes tons of mistakes
His lectures are boring, the matlab section is difficult if you don't keep up. The exams for MATLAB you either Pass or you fail, there is a grade, but you either will know how to do it and get an A or you won't and may get a few pitty points. Get help if you need it, ask for help on the matlab and they may add a help session, I'd suggest going to it.
Cons: Too old. Lectures put me too sleep and is not the best at making the subject matter easier to understand.
Cons: Difficult to talk to, somewhat absent minded, goes too fast in lecture.
The class is all around too large: 300 kids. The way they teach matlab is just not right. Here's a .pdf file now learn all of this by yourself with no instruction. You'll probably get more help from the TAs(as long as you can understand them; this term was better than last). Do the problems in the book for practice; there are both even and odd answers. do your homework during the weekend so that you can go to the help desk on tuesdays(only time there's really extra help given by ECE).
Worst of all he cares nothing for his students; after my alarm malfunctioned and I missed an exam I was 100% honest with Oleh when I could easily have lied and gotten a makeup for sure; he didn't care and gave me a 0 anyway. Truly good teachers realize that honesty is all too rare in students these days and show mercy in exchange; Oleh is obviously not such a teacher. Avoid at all costs.
While his lectures are sometimes dry, you must really ask yourself, how can you really dress up Linear Algebra/DiffEq?
He also always found creative ways to relate the material that we were learning to feats of engineer, such as bridge design, which I thought was very clever -- to kind of show us that this will all be helpful in the end.
2-It is a math course but the only thing he talks about is MATLAB.
My recommendation is to avoid this guy unless you like being left in the dark. He's a pretty easy grader, though, so you shouldn't have trouble pulling off a B.
