HESPANHA J P
Great professor with great lectures. Unfortunately, a lot of us didn't attend his lectures since we focused mainly on the lab. The class is graded only on the midterm lab project, as well as the final project. Both incorporate methods learned in lecture. He has great notes though. If you're EE, you get homework but the class is 5 units.
Prof. Hespanha was always very engaging during his lectures and was always extremely helpful in labs. You can tell he really enjoys ECE and wants you to succeed. He was always really fun to talk to, the class was never stressful, and I enjoyed that lectures were optional. I honestly would love to take one of his graduate-level game theory courses.
the course is an easy A and while i ultimately ended up dropping out of ECE, i really enjoyed this class (and the project that is apart of it) and found Hespanha's lectures to be very interesting. great professor overall and i'm sure his introduction to certain topics would be useful for future ece courses (but not like I would know lol)
I loved ECE 5 and Prof Hespanha was awesome. His lectures were clear, organized, and interesting, and he was very nice to talk to outside of class. I had some group-project issues that he responded to in a very considerate manner, and he was always super helpful when he stopped by in sections.
ECE 5 is a free class, but he's a really good lecturer. His lectures make sense and are a really good overview for later classes, plus he really welcomes questions.
This class is a free A, with very little homework. Lectures were very interesting and well-taught but were not required and the content was not tested. One group project with 3 person groups is responsible for all of your coursework. Mr. Hespanha is very helpful along the way.
