Comments on instructor:
The instructor was enthusiastic and tried to make the classes interesting and interactive.
The slides were pretty self sufficient. Additional reference - Digital design by M. Morris Mano and Michael Ciletti.
However, the teaching pace was very slow for the initial topics and picked up after the midsems.

Who will like the course:
Students that find find boolean logic/ digital electronics interesting
Those interested in computer hardware design
