University of Michigan at Ann Arbor / M / Trevor Mudge

I found Mudge to be too arrogant to provide anything useful. When asked some questions about the time and location of the exam, he blew me off rudely saying that "it was on the website", rather than telling me on the spot. I would not have asked him if it were on the website.

As for teaching, he does not dumb down the material, but at the same time, he does not explain it in a logical flow so that anyone can understand. EECS100 is really very simple material -- there is no reason that any students should have difficulty understanding it.

For instance, logical 1s and 0s should be explained starting with the on-off point, followed by +5V/0V,then to 1s and 0s, then to gate logic. Not gate logic, 1s and 0s, and then coming back to it several weeks later after everyone has lost interest.

Students stay interested in material if it is readily graspable. If it is made not to be, then no matter how easy, people lose interest.

That is all.
