    ECE162A . 11 Months Ago

    Homework and lectures are straight from the textbook. Permitted to have a cheat sheet for the exams, which are pretty straight forward and about on par with the homework in difficulty. Clearly knowledgeable prof that, while reliant on the text for lectures, knows his stuff.

    ECE162A . 5 Years Ago

    Schuller is a nice guy, but his class is ridiculous. There is a good curve, but the homework assignments are extremely difficult and there's no good resources for help. You'll be stuck struggling for hours and hours every week feeling like you know nothing. Unless you really like quantum mechanics, avoid this course
