Date I took this class: Fall 2007
Teacher: Sue Holl
Teacher's site: http://gaia.ecs.csus.edu/%7Eholls/
Grade earned: A
Book used: Introduction to MATLAB 7 for Engineers
Professor Holl is, overall, a good teacher.
Holl gives a lecture (usually consisting of power point slides) and the latter part of the class time is spent doing homework.
Professor Holl spends time answering questions and makes sure that they are all fully answered.
Holl gives homework assignments and collects them regularly. Those who do the homework usually pass with A's.
The MATLAB 7 book is used regularly in class (mainly for doing homework assignments). Holl expects everyone to read it - at least in part.
