records lectures, takes the best of your two midterms, final is half of your grade, curve seems generous

Fragouli is a good professor. There are no pre-requisites for this class. Every lecture, she goes over a different concept of graph theory, roughly following the chapters in Graph Theory with Applications by Bondy and Murty. The textbook is not required: she posts PDFs of relevant sections. She starts off by describing the mathematical theory, sometimes proving a theorem, and demonstrating how the theorem can be applied in real life. Homeworks were mostly similar to graph-theory questions you might find in the GTWA text. There was one coding homework, and two graph-theory projects. The project guidelines weren't totally clear and getting started can be tough if you don't have experience with coding. Osama the TA was a bit slow to respond. Fragouli herself is a very good lecturer, though the class was recorded at 8AM and by the end of the quarter fewer than ten students were showing up to live lecture...

We had two quizzes, but the second one had a technical issue and the professor gave everyone full points. The projects seemed to be graded pretty leniently.

Highly recommended for any engineering major who is thinking of taking an EE tech breadth.

Interesting class that felt more like a math class than an EE class. The professor records classes, which is helpful. One of the midterms gets dropped too. Exams are usually slightly easier or about the same difficulty as the HWs.

Its a typically grad class, but exam are the hardest I have taken so be prepared for self studying. However, there is a curve so you will be chillin in the end ... I think

Subject interest before course: 7/10
Subject interest after course: 1/10

Exams were not good. Only the first 3 weeks are useful. Afterwards, drop the class, it is not worth your time or energy.
