half of the assignments in the class are completely useless. their only purpose is to pad your grade. a better solution would be just to curve the class. my time spent on all these assignments would be better spent reviewing lecture and solving actual helpful HW problems. so many of the HW problems do NOT reinforce what we learned in class. useless

There are a lot of padding assignments and EC in this class so its fairly easy to get a good grade. But it's hard to learn anything from the 2nd half of this class. The lectures become overly complicated and dont prepare you for the HW. You basically have to teach yourself, but the textbook is also useless because its meant for review, not learning

Do not take - so many homework and active learnings (plus section requirements and problem presentation) means you'll be writing about trivial obvious problems step by step for hours. This is more of a handwriting class than a math class. So mind numbing.

She's better at lecturing than most other profs I've had, but it's very fast-paced and at 8 am. Definitely interrupt her to ask questions in lecture, otherwise she will keep talking forever. ALSO, if you are a DSP student, you will have to fight her for accommodations. She has the mindset "if you're failing, just work harder and don't be lazy."

Her lectures are a bit too fast, but the lecture notes do help. Tests are fair, there is a practice final that is very similar to the real final, and lots of extra credit. You need to write a paper for the course (which is kind of weird), and it takes a lot of effort, so be ready to spend 12 - 15 hours each week on this course.

She is incapable of speaking in a clear and direct way. She overcomplicates everything. The topics are not too difficult, but she goes out of her way to put everything in terms of pure math, so lectures are impossible to follow unless you think that way too Lectures are super fast paced, attendance is required, and you'll have to learn on your own
