As title says, Yu is not teaching section, and which one would i be better off at. Could not find grade dist. for both that were within a few years, 2002-03 were latest.

1/5/2009 7:28:52 PM

because this couldn't have gone in the confusingly titled 'ECE 331 w/ White?' thread just 10 lines below yours

1/5/2009 7:39:05 PM

Brickley vs. White

This won't end well.

1/5/2009 11:00:42 PM

i was faced with this same decision. based on the opinions i've heard, we're fucked either way. i'm just taking the later one so i don't have to get up so damn early.

1/5/2009 11:05:19 PM

i'd say JJ

Dont take it with White. I dont know the other guy.

1/6/2009 8:46:41 AM

NCSU must really like White alot, cuz when I looked at the class listing thing:

http://www2.acs.ncsu.edu/reg_records/tracs_bk/sprg/courses/ECE.html#ECE331+002

they have him teaching regular ECE 331 and TWO HONORS versions of it! To those that have had White before: What really made him crappy?: Is he a tough grader? Unapproachable? Disorganized?

1/6/2009 7:08:08 PM

^read it more carefully:

ECE 331H 002 PRIN ELEC ENGR I status:canc

is canceled.

ECE 331H 001 PRIN ELEC ENGR I ...days:M W F time:0935-1025 instr:MWWHITE

ECE 331 001 PRIN ELEC ENGR I ...days:M W F time:0935-1025 instr:MWWHITE

honors section is in the same lecture as the non honors section.

but yeah, school tool isnt entirely helpful:

Sitting through a Brickley class will make you want to shoot yourself

1/6/2009 8:51:46 PM

I had Brickley and he sucked

1/7/2009 8:44:57 AM

Oh god i just had my first day of white and oh god he is crazy! I dont know how much better Brickley will be but i may sit in his class will be Friday.

1/7/2009 11:41:09 AM

key topics for day one with white...

America should be more like Australia
Biologists are the saviors of mankind

....oh, and current is dq/dt

1/7/2009 12:29:37 PM

Yea, I'm signed up for White's class, but I sat in Brickley's just to see what was going on. Brickley is soft-spoken so i'm definitely gonna sit up front next time. He is boring, but seems to be more professor-ish than White. White talks about idealistic crap alot and seems like he's not all "there." Still don't know if I'll switch or not!

1/7/2009 12:37:40 PM

I told you White was crazy...

1/7/2009 3:30:16 PM

Yeah i will sit in on friday....but who has easier test...open book open note test?

ahhh it is like picking if you wanna be shot in the foot or in the arm...both are bad but what would you rather have...not able to walk or use hand. haha

but at least he apologized for his generation's big fuck up

[Edited on January 8, 2009 at 6:45 PM. Reason : i want to get a "wrap it up" box for that class]

1/8/2009 6:45:18 PM

well i think i will be switching out of his class...gonna sit in on Brickley class and switch to it.

1/8/2009 8:18:11 PM

same here...unfortunately I can't say that like I've gained much

1/8/2009 10:38:05 PM

I hate this class.

1/29/2009 2:13:17 AM

me in white's class is a mix of and and

1/29/2009 7:35:58 AM

Brickley seems like he has a chip on his shoulder...every day. He can't hear much so he usually misinterprets students' questions (which he doesn't like in general). At least he's finally somewhat closed the gap between class and homework. We're not teaching ourselves the whole homework anymore!

1/29/2009 8:25:36 AM

He rolls in a few minutes late and rushes his lectures. The fill-in-the-blank notes are obnoxious. Also he tells bad stories. Someone who sits near me farts.

1/29/2009 10:04:31 AM

Brickley has never had a parking permit ever since he started at NCSU... So he rides the bus everywhere. I think he lives somewhere in Cameron Village so, that is the reason that hes always late. He was the same way when I had him over in Daniels Hall.

1/29/2009 4:12:58 PM

He drives now, but still doesn't have a parking pass.

He parks on Varsity.

Quote :

"Someone who sits near me farts."

If you sit in the front, it's probably Brickley. He likes to cover up his farts by blowing his nose, but it's not unknown for him to just let it go.

1/29/2009 5:16:28 PM

^ the dude had to blow his nose every 15 minutes or so and then stuff the hankerchief back in his pocket. it was disgusting

1/30/2009 8:26:50 PM

^^ I can't stand White sitting in the front row clearing his throat every 5 minutes and being obnoxiously loud about it!

2/4/2009 10:42:10 AM

^^^Brickley ripped a few loud ones in class the other day.

2/4/2009 1:41:53 PM

this class just plain frustrates me

terrible teacher with a teach-yourself attitude and shit tons of repetitive homework



however, there may be a mutiny mounting. he has been replaced mid-semester before because enough people complained...

Is this white or brickley?

We got white put on probation a few semsesters ago. i thought he still was. the u-grad advisor for ece has strongly recommended he not be teaching u-grad classes at any level. I wonder whos ass hes kissing to still be.

2/6/2009 8:03:19 AM

^^ Yes, he is referring to White

2/6/2009 10:16:21 AM

^^white. my bet would be that it's due to the budget crunch. he's probably cheaper.

2/6/2009 12:38:45 PM

331 is always a shit class for the profs. no one wants to teach it as its non majors and therefore half the time its pointless-seeming to both prof and students.

2/6/2009 12:44:44 PM

well, it seems we all agree that it's pointless

2/6/2009 12:55:48 PM

Anyone know how Brickley's tests go? I have no idea what to expect from him

[Edited on February 8, 2009 at 1:18 PM. Reason : ]

2/8/2009 1:17:23 PM

this class makes me want to chew my leg off to escape.

2/11/2009 10:14:57 AM

today's class was a 50 minute long carlface

2/11/2009 5:28:37 PM

yeah I heard it was everything but a review for our test on Friday...

Girl in class today: "So what kind of questions are going to be on the test?"

Assclown: "Hard questions"

2/11/2009 7:32:36 PM

yeah, he was being a total lunatic

2/11/2009 8:31:39 PM

How did Brickley say he was going to weigh our test again?

2/12/2009 12:42:35 AM

^ I think he's gonna weight it something like:

worst test: 15%
middle: 20%
best: 25%

don't know if those are the right numbers, but something like that i think

2/12/2009 9:03:49 AM

fuck me sideways

2/13/2009 1:46:19 PM

test wasn't too bad for me

2/13/2009 3:03:04 PM

Brickley's test was ok. I had a brainfart on one problem, but other than that I think it was decent...

2/13/2009 5:58:00 PM

I didn't think the test was that hard, but man i've had some real asshole professors and this guy is just too much... seriously, you bitch at people for being maybe 2-3 minutes late because the bus broke down?

2/15/2009 1:34:38 AM

post dem grades y'all


129/145. i'm not sure how to feel about that

2/17/2009 5:30:44 PM

Yeah i have white and i got killed on the test! 73/145...avg is a 89/145....i have no idea if i should just drop it or see how it goes w/ the curve at the end....

2/17/2009 6:42:18 PM

lol average is a 61%

^stick around, he'll have to curve....if he's still around to teach the rest of the semester

why don't they just fire this worthless bag of shit? he talks about how great australia is, why doesn't he drag his sorry ass back?

2/17/2009 8:53:42 PM

I heard the class voted on White today after class. What happened?

2/20/2009 12:54:07 PM

damn, i turned in the HW and left when he said all he was doing was going over the test

2/20/2009 2:38:56 PM
