I'm thinking of taking ECE421 with Duel-Hallen. From what I heard I should avoid the class if she's teaching it. Any idea if this is true? Is it wiser to take ECE420 with Alexander (I can't stand him) instead?

I'm not interested in the material, I'm more interested in getting a good grade and doing less work.

you're gonna get flamed for this, but i'm of the opinion that this is the right attitude to have w/ some classes/teachers

Haha, so you don't mind taking exhausting theoretical not-applicable-to-the-real-world classes when you can easily choose courses like ECE403, 407 or 470 and get a good if not perfect grades on them? I do mind and that's why I'm asking about DH.

did you just say signal processing isn't applicable to the real world?

8/6/2009 5:46:32 PM

No, I said ECE classes aren't.

8/6/2009 5:57:06 PM

maybe you should investigate the difference between engineering and engineering technology

8/6/2009 6:03:30 PM

ECE question

should i do signal processing or RF if i want to like build guitar amps and shit.

8/6/2009 9:34:43 PM

dsp

so ya who is duel hallen? Ive never heard of them? Im going wthh alexander but then I like the guy. I know some people dont like his style so Ill respect you for that. Then again Ill also be taking both classes at some point.

Wow. You may want to consider changing majors.

y'all quit pretending that you don't know what the kid is trying to say

he's an EE major, not an english major

8/7/2009 10:51:05 AM

he only cares about the application of the material and not the theory behind it, so he's cherry-picking classes he can get As in without having to work very hard or learn the coursework--he should've gone to charlotte or a&t for engineering technology...

^^ I'm used to this kind of conversation. EE students are always trying to super-inflate their sense of self-importance.

^ I don't think there is anything wrong with cherry-picking classes.

some people go for the education; some people go for the degree

8/7/2009 12:23:03 PM

I'm glad i'm finally going for an education . This is like the first semester i'm looking forward to any specific class since like high school.

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

i have found that knowledge gained in college has very little to do with performance in "the real world"

how much design have you done?

8/7/2009 3:25:18 PM

none, i guess i should've specified field engineering

you know

the guys who fix the shit when the design doesn't perform properly

OH SHIT, I THINK I JUST TURNED THIS INTO ANOTHER DESIGN VS. FIELD DEBATE THREAD

PUT ON YOUR BATTLE PAINT KIDDIES

8/7/2009 3:40:28 PM

nah, i'm too old to fight more than one battle at a time

8/7/2009 3:45:31 PM

I would take Alexander for any course in which he was an option.
