Super nice professor and lecture slides are very comprehensive. If you see him teaching 130A get in ASAP!

ECE130A . Marden J R 3 Months Ago

jason is the best professor i have ever had in terms of teaching ability. his lectures are incredible. he has figured out how to teach one of the hardest subjects while somehow keeping it interesting. he focuses on concepts over computations. homeworks prep you well for exams, which are super tough, but reasonable imo. TAKE 130A WITH MARDEN.

I took both 130A and 149 with him. He is very knowledgeable and explains the material very well. The class was never boring and is also very approachable and willing to answer questions. The grading criteria was fair and the homework was at the right level of difficulty where you weren't overwhelmed, but still learned a ton. Highly recommend!

Took him for ECE149A (Game Theory). His lectures were unhelpful and he had way too much confusing notation that made even the easier concepts very hard to follow. Do not take.

compared to the previous offering of ECE 130A it was a lot easier and more accomodating. This was my first introduction to MATLAB and the programming assignments were very helpful. Tests were fair but I left the class understanding signal analysis. The biggest benefit though, is that if you type your homework you get a lot of extra credit!
