ECE220A . 5 Months Ago

One of the worst classes I've ever taken. No feedback, no instruction, no guidance and he couldn't care less. Avoid at all costs!

ECE220A . 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

Take the ugrad. equiv. course until the current TA (Connor D.) graduates. Enjoyed the course very much and Professor's nice, but ultimately your final grade falls on Connor. There are no set grading rubric to fall for, no explicitly stated OH, rude and bare min. feedback, and yet the curriculum is the same as 120A. I lucked out w/diff co-TA
