Reviews for Agisilaos Iliadis
Average Rating:| Anonymous Course: ENEE313 Grade Expected: April 10, 2011, 8:06 pm | I stand by most of the comments the other reviewers wrote, but I'll add one thing that may or may not discourage people from taking a class with this professor. I recently received a test back in this class, and doubted some of the point penalties I got on a few of the problems. When I asked him what I should have done to get full credit on one problem, he looked at my answer and said, (his words, not mine), "This is bull-s***." I was a little surprised, since I understand what "B.S.-ing" an answer means, and this was not a B.S. answer. I proceeded to try and figure out why he didn't agree with my answer, but I'm just as clueless as I was before. I consider myself a good student, and I get that I'm not going to have the grades I want all the time, but I still don't appreciate my hard work on a test being referred to as "bull-s***". I will try very hard to avoid taking any more classes from this professor, and I will personally recommend that other students avoid this professor as well. |

The main problem with Iliadis is he doesn't explain stuff thoroughly enough. Many of his lectures require knowledge from other 300 level EE classes. This being said, his exams a very fair and he does not give much hw at all (I actually kind of wished he would give us more so that I could feel more prepared for the exams). The hw he does give is basically impossible to do solely from the lecture material. One nice thing was he emphasized knowing the concepts more than just being able to plug in numbers to equations. |

You have to know the important equations for this class by heart and know some of the derivations. Minus the second exam, he's required some type of derivation on every exam. He tends to take points off your exam without really telling you why. (ie.checkmarks everywhere and a -10 points out of nowhere) Don't even bother going to class unless you want to waste time. He's incoherent and never finishes his sentences. I don't think he's ever properly answered anyone's questions because he frequently goes off tangent. Most of the time, he doesn't even bother to show up to class on time. In short, his lectures are useless. You'd be better off learning the material on your own. I never took ENEE313 before taking this class, but from what I hear, the material from this class is same as the material in ENEE313. Besides all the bad points, Illiadis is a fair professor. He really wants people to do well in his class. When a lot of people did horrible on the first exam, he gave us an essay to write to boost our first exam grades. And during the second exam, when people kept asking him questions about one of the problems, he gave hints on how to solve the problem. |

The exams are not hard; if you know the formulas, it is literally plug-and-chug like a homework problem. This would have been nice to know beforehand, however, as he does not tell you this and a few people actally walked into the final expecting to be able to use a cheetsheet. If you don't know the right formula, you're dead in the water. |
