ECE3 . 1 Year, 9 Months Ago

Prof Miolane didnt really teach ECE 3, just basic python which was rushed and then she let the rest of her team do the work. Because of that, the entire course was disorganized and rushed, especially the linear algebra unit which taught so much content in one week and which required us to do a 15+ hour plus lab. Extra credit was a good bonus though

ECE3 . 1 Year, 10 Months Ago

Nina is an amazing and interactive lecturer. That being said the course is poorly organized, specifically the linear algebra unit, which was just way too rushed. Some homework took many hours to complete whereas others could be completed in less than an hour.

Nina herself is a great professor and was very enthusiastic about teaching the subject, with that said this class is not aimed for freshmen if you haven't taken linear algebra or don't have coding experience you will struggle, I recommend taking the class later on, other than that Nina is very accommodating and wants people to good in the class.

Prof. Miolane is clearly very enthusiastic about teaching the course and making sure we participate and understand... that said, the course is very poorly conceived. ECE 3 is MATH 4A-- Linear Algebra. The final is entirely on Linear Algebra. You'll need to know Python to survive the homework, but our final was 40% of our grade.

ECE3 . 3 Years Ago

The way that ECE3 is built is extremely dumb. I would not blame professor Miolane. She has a very thick French accent as well, hard to understand what she is saying. Seems passionate about what she is doing. Gave extra credit because curriculum was confusing for freshmen. Good professor, bad class.

prof is a great person and listens to student feedback, but the course itself is not tailored towards ee beginners. labs and homework are kind of a mess, but she gives 10+% extra credit which is great. no midterms and only one final which kind of screwed us over because we had no idea what to expect. the mock exam did not prepare for the final
