· Posting all of the written notes and the recorded lectures on Canvas helped me to study and understand the material better, as well as getting parts of the lecture I missed during class.
· What worked well was the simplicity of the problems presented. We did not use crazy or complicated formulas - our main goal was to understand the working principles of electric machinery and we focused more on conceptual material than mathematical. This was good, because the basics of electric machinery do not require complex formulas.

Spring 2022 (ECE 3614)
· Dr. Karimi has a very good understanding of the material and is open to help outside of the class.
· I liked how everything was available online.
· I really enjoyed how he taught the lectures and how he would frame each section into segments the same way. Example: start out with construction of machine and working theory, show the advantages and disadvantages, show the equivalent circuit, then show some problems being done. He wrote down most everything he said on the board so I was able to take very good notes.
· I really enjoyed this class even though it was an 8 AM.
· I think that the homework worked well. I felt that the quizzes were fair, and them being open note with a turn in time frame within 24 hours really helped a lot.

· The only problem I had in this class is notes. I wish the notes were available online instead of hand-writing it. I know the goal of taking notes by hand but it would be nice to have neat well-organized notes.
Spring 2022 (ECE 8633)
· Demonstration of how we can control inverter-connected devices in an efficient way.
· First, the basic of power electronic converters are explained. After that, the practical control schemes, the challenges and solutions are discussed. The presentation of the course materials is very convenient to understand. The instructor was very friendly and helped the students on the assignments.

· This class was full of knowledge. May be inclusion of machine learning based methods would have made it more wonderful. But still I am satisfied with class and its contents
· Dr. Karimi is a good lecturer and explained the course material well. I really liked the homework/project approach to the class, as opposed to a high stakes testing approach. I learn best by applying the material and this approach facilitated that well.
· Everything Worked Well.
· Professor Dr. Karimi is one of the best instructors I ever had come across through my academic enrollment. His notes were well structured and understandable despite the complications of the concepts and subject matters of expertise involved in this course "control of DER systems". He has started right from the fundamentals required to understand the advanced concepts taught through this course.
· Honestly, Keep going as it is.
· I feel this course to be more of a professional one and was able to gain the very good proficiency in using the tool "Simulink" to apply the learned concepts during the lectures in a practical manner by doing the course works and I am a PhD student and understanding this will be a prerequisite for me to pursue my research during the subsequent semesters as I would like to work with the same professor (Dr Karimi).
· The Professor has a great approach in terms of: *Preparing and uploading the course materials. *Explaining the subject matter. *Using the Technology tools for the course material. *Returning the email and all the related questions as soon as possible. *Giving feedbacks and comments for the homework/assignments. *Uploading the answers and solutions. * Working with convenient method for students.
· This was a really great and practical course. I learned a tremendous amount, especially regarding useful applications of LQR/LQT optimal control techniques, and will recommend this course to other grad students. I'll note that I think this course would have been extremely difficult without taking classes in power electronics, classical controls, state space controls, and optimal controls. You may consider making those prerequisites.
Spring 2021 (ECE 3614)
· Best class this semester, best professor I have had in ECE.
· Dr. Karimi did a very good job with this course would definitely recommend him to other students.

· I would love to take his course again if I could, but unfortunately I am passing.
· Dr. Karimi was one of my best professors this semester and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone taking this course.
· He is a great instructor.
