Comment: Most helpful: the instructor ensured material was understood by all students prior to moving on to different topics when at all possible. To Improve: Some portions of the course are not covered as throughly as I would have liked, possibly tailoring the course more towards what specific topics the students would like.

Comment: The course was an excellent continuation of the ECE 240 course. I enjoyed the projects and the problem solving involved with them. I would like to see more integration between this course and the ECE 443 course, especially in the lab/project portion.

Comment: It was a good intro into digital design using VHDL. The projects were the best part of the class because they let you go through the whole design process and complete a design implemented in lab. A little better intro into using the FPGAs and Xilinx at the beginning of the class would have been helpful, or maybe a simpler
