Reviews for Manoj Franklin
Average Rating:| Anonymous Course: ENEE303 Grade Expected: A December 27, 2011, 2:41 pm | Thorough lectures, although it can be difficult to pay attention as he speaks very softly and mentions some important concepts in passing. He can be very meticulous in writing out diagrams, which makes note-copying (and catching up) much easier. He did not give pop quizzes as in previous semesters, which was a bonus. His tests were relatively straightforward and he's pretty generous with partial credit. My biggest complaint with the class was with the difficulty of the homework, which often stressed concepts we were not expected to know (and often did not cover) in lecture/exams. Still, overall, this was a pretty easy class, and Franklin was pretty great. As always, look at practice exams (helps immensely). |

He's pretty good at explaining stuff too. I actually wish he had given us more homework because I felt like we never really got to practice the problems enough. And I wish he wouldn't do his pop quizzes because they were pointless and tested memorization more than understanding of the concepts. But his tests are fair and they count for most of the grade, so it's pretty easy to get an A in the class. |

His notes are very neat and clear. His lectures can become somewhat disorganized, but it's just because he always asks students questions and tries to pick apart what they don't know. Whether you think this is good or not is up to you. He also has pop quizzes in his lectures. They are multiple choice and count for a substantial portion of your grade. I think quiz were like 20%, HW like 10% and the rest was midterm + final. His exams are extremely hard. Prepare well, do EVERY homework, and study like mad. Show *ALL* your work, even on multiple choice questions, as he gives lots of partial credit if your reasoning is good. |

You don't learn anything at all. He posts the powerpoints online so just review them at your dorm before you go to class. He is nice though. |
| Anonymous Course: ENEE303 Grade Expected: A November 23, 2009, 5:27 pm | AWESOME professor! For all EE students: u'll be better off taking this prof for whatever class he teaches. He has an awesome curve. First of, you have to pay attention in class for the multiple choice lecture quizzes. And you have to note that these are almost the same questions on the exams. Also, you have to go over and solve the practice exam questions since the exam questions are similar to those. Also he is a little difficult to catch for office hours. So in case you need help you have to talk to him after class. Because he takes some time before replying to emails. |

What I like most about him is that he explains things in a very clear and understandable way. Also he is a really fair grader, and the problems you get on the test are usually the same or very similar problems to what was in the homework or in examples from the book. |
