Pretty hard class if you've never coded and/or haven't taken linear. Matlab is all matrices so it isn't really coding. ended up dropping the class because it's only online and am gonna take a different in person class to fill the requirement. had 100 leading up to the midterm. TA's are super helpful. slow grader

Professor Moehlis is the chair of the ME department, so I can only imagine he chooses to teach Engineering 3 out of pure enjoyment. He'll make sure you know what you need and spend the remaining time connecting the work to fascinating math concepts and personal stories. Those with any coding experience will pass easily, so I'd call it a win-win.

I came in with zero coding experience. It was easy. I rarely went to lecture, but I was still successful. Weekly homework, handwritten midterm, final project. Work with friends on homework and the final. The midterm is straightforward if you haven't been cheating your way through the class. Moehlis doesn't really add or take away from the class.

Professor Moehlis is one of the best professors I've had so far! His lectures are very engaging and you can tell that he truly cares about his students. He gave us practice midterms which were very helpful for midterm prep. The prompts in lecture often mirror the homework, so even of you dont have prior coding experience its easy to learn.

Professor J-Mo is perhaps the best professor I have had at UCSB. His lectures go in depth & he shares a lecture video of all the classes he takes. I was never checking my watch in his lectures & his interactive way of teaching made me look forward to this class every week. Keep up with the lecture as the HW gets harder every week. Come to lecture.

Prof J-Mo is a good lecturer, and succeeds in making his lectures fun and interesting. This course itself is very easy, if you have any prior programming experience you don't need to go to any classes. Grade is based off of weekly homeworks and quizzes (online), and take home midterm and final projects. All of which are pretty easy.
