Fast-paced lectures but covered important topics. Lots of reading though.

The reading is a bit heavy but the content itself isn't the worst. I would say the worst part of EACS 4A is the participation requirements needed to earn points.

A lot of reading, and lectures were very dense with information, but overall pretty good. Tests were reasonable in content and grading.

There is way too much information crammed into each lecture. Readings are heavy, but tests are reasonable: you have to recall information about topics discussed in the course. This course is interesting though.

Professor Mazanec's dense lectures are essentially information dumps, and are sometimes hard to follow. Readings are lengthy and tedious, but there are very few assignments other than the readings. The midterm and final are easy, and grading is reasonable. I wish the lectures were a bit more engaging, but the class was fine overall.

If you have classes before his, get ready to have a ton of information thrown at you. His lecture slides provide a ton of information and he can elaborate too much at some points.
