Most Helpful Review
Fall 2025 - Dr. Briggs is an excellent, kind, and fair professor whose expectations are clear and whose grading reflects the effort students put into the course. He is very supportive throughout the quarter, particularly during the TI-RSLK car project, and provides guidance that helps students stay on track and succeed. Office hours are especially valuable, as Dr. Briggs is approachable and explains circuit behavior through clear, memorable examples that reinforce understanding. Overall, I would absolutely take this class again and am very grateful for Dr. Briggs’ guidance and support throughout the course.
