Boring lectures, hard exams, learn nothing from this course

The best professor in UCSB! If you see him just take it!

There is weekly coding homework that is graded and there are weekly quizzes in section. The topic is quite tough but Ichiba grades fairly. He tries very hard to explain things in a way that will make sense and to assist the students whenever necessary. When I took the class, he had an optional extra credit project at the end of the quarter.

Chill professor, easy grader. The midterm was easy, the final was impossible but he curved it hard.

[Fall 2024] 213A with Ichiba was a fine class, though I wish he did a better job at motivating the topics. He speaks softly which made it difficult to hear. Notwithstanding, his lectures were very clear and he was very kind. His exams were easy and straightforward, giving us a ton of leeway. He often gave good hints for homework, though not always.

Professor Ichiba is very organized, grading criteria is very clear, and Final was a project instead of a test. This class was challenging but all the work was doable. His lectures sadly are very boring and you don't necessarily need to attend class as it's all posted online. He clearly is a very intelligent guy.
