Easily one of the top 3 classes I've taken at UCSB and by far the best prof. Learned a ton, and the professor clearly goes out of his way to make sure we learn stuff that is critical for our careers. I only wish I could have taken this class sooner so I could do the advanced sequence but I'm graduating.

going to lectures are kind of pointless. at least you can get away turning in assignments slightly late. then again the final video game project is heavily weighted (obviously), and graded really hard. literally one of the grading criteria is "fun" which could be subjective and probably becomes harsher grading category as time goes on...

Extremely unorganized class. We would find out what the assignment was hours before it was due. The due dates were unclear and it was difficult to keep up. In lecture he kinda just talks about stuff you could learn online much faster. Homework assignments are pretty useful though and the material is structured well. It was just sooo unorganized.

probably the only ece prof to grade average as a C weekly homework, quizzes, two exams, plus a final project + report on incredibly novel topics very interesting material professor was unrelenting on his incredibly strict workload, and gave harsh grades; made work feel unworthwhile

Prof Sen makes the class a grind for the whole quarter, with weekly quizzes, weekly homework, midterm, final exam and a lengthy final project. He also applies a curve to the final grade, where the average is set to be a C+. Avoid this class if you prefer not to suffer, and like your gpa.

Course material is interesting, and the prof is a decent lecturer. The material posted online is next to useless in studying or completing the weekly homework, which was due Monday at 9pm for both a physical hand-in and code like somebody would be looking at the code at 9:01. Prof also refuses to accommodate for students or respond to emails.
