Student Comments about the Class or Instructor

The classes given by TA were hard to follow (mainly, the class was sleeping). TA had put a lot of effort to cover the course material, but the instructor''s classes were a lot better... Overall, it was a great course to take. Some of the Lab assignments take more than 3 hrs (writing a report and doing the lab ~ 6hrs). More credit should be given to the lab.

Grade may be low but this has been one of the best courses I have taken in my 5 years at Tech.

Prof. Owen did a great job, and is one of my favorite profs. Give the man a raise before you give anybody like Saele one.

I took this class because it was the one of the few 4000+ electives that I would be able to take this semester. I was not originally all that interested in this information, but I am now glad that I took this class. Professor Owen did an excellent job in making some somewhat dry material interesting.

This is a great class. LOts of valuable information is provided and it''s very well organized.

really enjoyed the class

Owen is one of the best teachers that I have had at Tech. His class does a great job of assisting in learning the material.

I liked that lectures were handed out, so I didn''t have to print them out. Labs were good, but could have been longer. Also, more equipment for the labs where we had to share it.

Good instructor. The class was enjoyable.

Henry Owen was one of the best teachers that I have had at this school. He was very friendly and open about helping people outside of class. He was also understanding toward the needs of individual students.

Henry is organized, approachable, honest, patient, and enthusiastic (Despite some of the topics discussed). His jokes promote interest in the class and his tone indicates his interest in teaching this course. The choice of the number and type of labs and the choice of material tackled in the labs is appreciable, but could be more diverse and complete by including some optional labs in addition to the current set of 10 labs so the motivated students could satisfy their thirst for knowledge without putting their fellow students (who are comfortable with the status quo of workload) to mental penury. Class highly recommended. Instructor is appropriate for the course. Good Job!

Dr. Owen is a cool teacher - he actually has personality! He is also an effective teacher - he actually teaches!

Had fun being in this class even tho I am not getting an A.

Excellent class, give this prof a raise. One of the few effective teachers at this school.

Great class, taught by a great teacher. I think the only hard part was having to read occasionally from the projector, but I understand why you are doing it that way. Otherwise, I learned a lot.

Fun and interesting material. Professor had an energy when teaching classes. Made the material more interesting and exciting to learn. Fun projects to apply class knowledge. Wish there could have been more programming assignments, otherwise great class!

Good class very interesting and well run by the professor

Overall this was one of the better organized classes I have taken at tech. All of the books were essential to the class. Thank you.
