ECE154A . Strukov D B 1 Year, 9 Months Ago

Super chill, not the greatest at explaining complicated concepts, but trys his best. Very fair tests.

Solid professor. Fat curve. Start labs early.

ECE10A . Strukov D B 4 Years Ago

This class easy for the first 9 weeks, the last homework was insane, but overall this class was easy. He went almost exclusively by the textbook. There were pop quizzes, one midterm, which were pretty easy (not to mention he gives generous extra credit). The final was supposed to be very difficult but he had to make it optional due to Coronavirus.

Although Strukov might pass off as a boring lecturer, his teaching style is really straightforward. The class material is really interesting and Strukov does a great job explaining the main points. Exams are not tricky at all so long as you pay attention to lecture or read the textbook. Attendance is extra credit where you sign in each lecture.

Great professor. His experience in the USSR has allowed us to all get the same grade in the class. Unfortunately the average was too low for anyone to get a significant grade.

ECE154A . Strukov D B 8 Years Ago

My 2nd favorite class at UCSB. I loved Strukov because he doesn't try to make you like him, he just lectures. Attendance taken every class, but it's worth it - his lectures are coordinated with the book and do a great job of explaining very tough material. Challenging homeworks and projects. I like architecture now because of this class. Great prof
