UCSBPlat 2.0 Beta Preview: course syllabus, automated class registration, and more Be the first to see

This course represents a comprehensive foundation for core ECE topics in signal processing, image analysis, machine learning, optimization and control. The lectures present concepts from linear algebra, such as matrix computations, systems of linear equations, eigenspace decomposition, inner-product, orthogonality, least-squares and linear regression. Students actively engage with the technical materials with an introduction to Python programming and associated hands-on sessions. The materials are be motivated by real-world scenarios ranging from medical imaging to autonomous vehicles, from (miscarriage of) justice to brain-machine interfaces, from music analysis to GPS design.

ECE3 . Miolane N 3 Months Ago

relatively straightforward class but more than half of the course is TA led. the content is digestible with unit 2 (the linear algebra unit) being the hardest. that aside, tests aren't hard and you're lowest quiz score ends up getting dropped which is nice. the homework however doesn't really match class content and just feels like a chore.

ECE3 . Miolane N 3 Months Ago

The professor was largely absent during this class. She had her PhD students teach 3/4 of the lectures; everything else was TA-led (sections, quizzes, final, etc.). The final was administered 50 minutes late (annoying). Class is easy, especially with prior coding knowledge; if you don't have any, don't worry, it's an elementary leveled class.

ECE3 . Miolane N 3 Months Ago

The professor is fine but she only teaches one of the 4 units and the rest are taught by TAs. Also very disorganized when it comes to tests. Our final was an out late because of a “printing issue” and the first test was late because the TA who had a bike accident. The hw is also very useless and sometimes doesn't even match class content.

ECE3 . Miolane N 3 Months Ago

Honestly nothing against the professor, her lectures are fine. But most of the class was taught by TAs. And the final started 50 minutes late without very poor communication throughout. This course should be reorganized since it covered too much material at a very very surface level.

Prof Miolane didnt really teach ECE 3, just basic python which was rushed and then she let the rest of her team do the work. Because of that, the entire course was disorganized and rushed, especially the linear algebra unit which taught so much content in one week and which required us to do a 15+ hour plus lab. Extra credit was a good bonus though

Nina is an amazing and interactive lecturer. That being said the course is poorly organized, specifically the linear algebra unit, which was just way too rushed. Some homework took many hours to complete whereas others could be completed in less than an hour.
