ECE130A . 7 Years Ago

I had him as TA for EE130ABC. He was more helpful than the professor. Great guy, always went out of the way to help you. Knew lots of math tricks. His english was a bit rough .

Class is pretty easy until around week 7. Don't bother asking any questions in lecture, he just avoids them and goes on with his own lecture.

Don't ask questions in class, he won't answer them. He will give you a vague answer and make you feel like a moron. Don't wear a hat in class, he will make you take it off because it shows lesser intelligence. He's funny yet very condescending. Go to lecture because he does show some helpful math tricks. Easy HWs, difficult tests.

This needs to be said. He is a terrible teacher. I can't believe how people here fail to mention how he openly insults students with questions. He can't answer them either; he either gives a useless "joke" or gets frustrated (in person). Rude and condescending. READ THE BOOK; EVIL EXAMS use a calculator for complex #s, it's absolutely essential.

If you have no background in ECE, be prepared for a tough time. The material itself is actually quite easy, but Hua tells you not to read the book. Bad idea, the book's chapter 1 and 2 were pretty bad, but from three onward were really clear. Hua's explanations are hard impossible to follow if you don't know the material, potentially disastrous.

If you have little to no knowledge of electricity you are in for a very rough quarter. He only goes over topics once and does not know how to answer questions.

Great professor, really funny, makes things interesting. Lecture and homework went well together. Going to class is vital for a good grade. Midterms were much easier than the final. Lab was not too difficult but it depends on the TA. Homework can be hard but if you understand it, the tests will be easy...it's also mostly taught in lecture.

Interesting human being and funny a way, but his mood can change from good to bad really fast. Unpredictable in many ways. You can do well on all exams and still get a bad grade (this could be a painful part for any student).

Professor Lee may not be the most helpful professor in the world, but his lectures were very interesting. He has a good sense of humor and presents difficult topics more clearly than the book; however, his tests are pretty difficult.

My favorite professor I've had at UCSB. He's not the most helpful, but he's super into EE. He also has a funny sense of humour.

This class ended up being easier than I expected. Prof. Lee makes the class very interesting, but he can come off very sarcastic and unhelpful. The key is to go to every class and to read the book. His tests were really hard, but he gives a lot of partial credit. Overall i really enjoyed it and would definitley take another one of his classes.
