Depending on the time sequence of your circuit-related physics/engineering courses, many concepts may appear elsewhere before (physics 1 series, ECE 3...). In general, this course is a good review and elevation to circuit theory fundamentals. Professor Darabi has a well-structured lecture with examples, but it is still worthwhile to do practice problems from other sources before the exams besides the given examples and homework problems (don't forget to review transformer equations). The textbook is probably the only thing to be improved for this course, as I personally think it is a little bit old (from half a century ago), but as long as you follow the lectures, you do not need it.

Darabi is an excellent lecturer, and I enjoyed the class. However, as implied with the honors notation, this class is more difficult, and goes more in depth than the regular counterpart. There is a curve, and I am likely among those saved by the curve. Darabi handwrites his notes on the whiteboard and does not record lectures for the most part, so it's not as easy to catch up if you miss a lecture, and assigns homework roughly every other week. The homework consists of 6 to 7 mandatory problems, and the rest are bonus questions. The exams are intuitive if you understand capacitors and inductors well, otherwise they are a bit of a pain. Would take another class with Darabi again.

Only dislike is his failure to record lectures.

Darabi is a pretty good professor. His lectures are clear and has a really good intuition of circuit analysis. This class comprised of 4 homework assignments, a midterm, and a final. These are all rather difficult assignments. If you pay attention in class and study the homeworks, you should be able to do well on the exams.

Professor Hooman gives great intuition about circuit analysis in the time domain. His midterm and final were relatively hard but you can get a 100% on both if you listen to him during lecture and make sure you understand the homeworks. Homeworks were okay with 1 or 2 hard questions on each homework. He also introduces stuff like diodes, transistors, frequency response plots which weren't necessary but I guess that's probably because its the honors version.
