ece134 . 3 Months Ago

Course load was way too much. covered the same content and textbook PHYS 110A and PHYS 110B in the span of 10 weeks. Homework was the most confusing thing on the planet. Professor also went to fast to cover these topics, expected us to read 50 pages of the textbook a week to fully understand. homework had to be turned in in-person as well.

ECE136B . 3 Months Ago

Cared heavily on students learning rather than exams. Little homework, but i see it as a downside because it was hard to retain a lot of what he is saying. There is no textbook, everything is based off lectures he gives so its important to attend almost all of them. Lots of topics to cover in 10 weeks but was manageable. very different from ece134.

Does not teach the material and only solves problems in class. Expects students to read 1-2 chapters per week. Good luck.

Super chill professor and lectures were clear. Guest lecturers were cool as well. Tests and HW weren't bad. Thank god I could take this class instead of the dreaded CHEM 1A.

ECE6 . 1 Year, 5 Days Ago

Disclaimer: This is the first quarter ECE 6 was offered. Class was very easy as a result but Smith obviously cared about us learning the chemistry groundwork for EEs (class was definitely geared for Electrical Engineering majors). TAs were definitely subpar but that's transient. Course material could have been easy or hard; Smith made it easy.
