I think he's good at explaining things, really takes time to answer questions during lectures. The second exam was a bit tough, but he curved it in the end.

Fantastic overall course. The engagement Yoga demonstrates, as well as the effort he puts into recruiting companies, is absolutely fantastic. I hear overall better sentiment towards the CE capstone than the EE capstone for example.

While the subject is definitely not my strength or passion, Professor Isukapalli does a great job of teaching embedded systems fundamentals. I think his organization is very good and I appreciate the lecture slides/format. Also, the iClicker questions are good at making sure you are actually retaining the lecture material!

Excellent professor! I second the opinion below, TESLA interview-70% questions from this course. Highly recommended.

Most useful course I have taken at UCSB. I had two interviews in embedded systems this month and many questions were from the material in this course. Very well taught. Exam questions were similar to homework problems. Labs take time but you will learn a lot!

Most time consuming course I've ever taken (plan out your schedule carefully). He's too fast in lecture for me. Lots of information in slides; it's all tested on exams, and optional homeworks. Exams = no partial credit. Labs are difficult & weekly. Final project is a pain as well. You need to understand the topics REALLY well if you want high grade

Summer session goes really fast. Straightforward material, good instructor.

Very good lectures, if you want a better grade than a B- go to sections and office hours.

Very well organized lectures! I got an internship based on this material.

He is so amazing at explaining things take any class you can with him! Show up to every class because he doesnt post annotated slides on GS. He will also end up telling you what types of problems will be on the exam if you show up to class. Tough but fair exams. You will do well if you attend class, do the homework, and study. Labs are fun!

Took 152A with him, was a great professor, and the TA's were amazing as well. The grading scheme is very fair, with quit a bit of weight being on the labs which you have plenty of time to complete. Course was interesting and the tests were very fair. Final was harder than the midterm, but he ended up slightly curving the class.
