  A professor for power electronics class I took at Berkeley got PhD in MIT supervised by him. I felt familiar with the instructor&apos;s name and just found out I used to use a textbook &quot;Principles of Power Electronics&quot; written by the instructor. <br><br>Thank you MIT for providing this valuable learning resource. Hope I can make a same comment for the last lecture video :)

  Praise to the camera operator for perfectly capturing the stage, chalkboard drawings, and making smooth and controlled movements while keeping the professor in focus.

  As someone who graduated a year ago with my BS in EE, my heart sank when he said there will be no exams. Those students have no idea how much harder a take home quiz will be 😂
