130A . A Month Ago

Signals & systems is considered one of the hardest classes in EE. The entire course is math. Very abstract. Some people find it easy, some (like me) struggle because the physical intuition/connections aren't given. Madhow's teaching style didn't work well for me, but it did for others. He's a nice guy and wants us to succeed

130A . 4 Months Ago

Honestly don't believe the person who got a C in the previous rating. this professor curved pretty heavy to the point where everyone passed with a minimum of a C unlike prof Marden. Always posts his lectures online and has a detailed textbook with tons of problems. Hw weekly was long but worth the practice. Only negative is attendence req for sect.

Do not take this class. The lectures are not very well made and are hard to follow at times, the homework is straight from the lecture notes but his lecture notes don't prepare you for the homework either. He ignores questions during lectures and is condescendingly rude when you try to ask questions after lecture. Avoid at all costs.

If possible do not take it with him. Bro lectures straight from a textbook he has written and does not explain anything for software assignments (expects you to know MATLAB with no prior knowledge). Rushes through subjects and most people are lost. Again, steer clear of this guy.

Homework is extremely long. Not just one assignment, but two per week. He isn't very engaging during his lectures and just keeps going so fast. The material is difficult and he teaches straight from his book. It's challenging to understand it all. I suppose that his teaching style just didn't suit me, I don't know. Best advice: go to TA office hrs.
