Average
Overall, Prof. Megaridis is a very nice guy if you take time to get to know him. His lectures can be hard to follow through but his exams are typically fair. As long as you are willing to put in work on your own and show up in all labs and classes, you will be fine.

Awful
I feel like Prof. Megaridis spends so much time deriving equations and saying that you won't need them for exams. It would've been better if he does lots of in-class examples. It would be a great technique to teach this class. I suggest for you not to take many credits with this because you will have to spend quite some time on this trying to learn yourself.

Poor
Really just an awful lecturer. Difficult to follow as a teacher, as he will spend more than ten minutes deriving an equation and you can't just listen and write down notes at the same time. You won't learn a thing in class but in order to pass you need to.
