I don't really understand why her ratings are so low. She is not the best professor in the world, but she still does a decent job teaching. I usually perform average or slightly above average, and I did not find this class too challenging with cabric

Cabric was a really great teacher. She would begin every class with a review of the material, then lecture. Her lectures went by very slowly and she would slow down the class to make sure students understood the material.

Her tests are heavily based on the homeworks and project. Doing those should get you a good grade.

Reading the textbook was unnecessary. I stopped doing it after the first chapter.

Avoid her at all costs. Her lecture slides are copied and pasted from other university's lecture slides. Her TAs and her do not know the material well themselves. To top it all off, their expectations for the students are on cloud nine. I took her because she was excellent in teaching 102. Sadly, that may be the only subject she can teach.

Albeit my interest in Electrical Engineering coming into my first EE course at UCLA was fairly high, Professor Cabric made me have a really tough time liking and understanding the material that was presented throughout the course. Cabric was extremely sadistic and was critical towards many students in the lecture room who simply just wanted to better understand the material. Phrases such as "How do you not understand this?" or "Are you not even paying attention?" were used during the lecture specifically pointing at attentive students at the front of the class who just needed help understanding some of the difficult concepts. I've personally had a horrible time with this instructor and definitely not recommend this professor to any future engineering student who has even the slightest passion for Electrical Engineering as a career path.

Cabric is not bad for 102. I had her for both M16 & 102. M16 wasn't that great of an experience, but it wasn't too hard of a class either.

I actually liked her 102 class a lot. You have to pay attention and ask questions if you want to learn tho.

Cabric was average at best. As some people pointed out, she lectures using slides, but she isn't the most effective lecturer. The TA's could have taught the class much better than she did, and they answered every question in far more detailed fashion than she ever did. Discussion is extremely crucial; I got a pretty respectable grade in the class despite not going to lecture after the midterm, and bombing the final despite all of that, only because I relied on the discussion notes, questions, and the TA's. Homework prepared, but only slightly. The final was pretty hard in itself, and there was a policy to weigh your final more if you did better.

I learned something, but if you want a more detailed lecturer, I'd go with Yutao He.

The rumors are true, this class is one of the most difficult you can take after M16. Cabric is a clear teacher which is rare for a EE professor. But her homework and exams are on the impossible end of the spectrum. Grading is very fair and problems rely on you knowing the theory rather than memorizing strategies for solving problems as her and her super smart TAs design exams that are like convoluting puzzles (pun intended) and require on the spot thinking. If you really want to learn signals and systems then take it with Cabric, otherwise I'd go with an easier professor. This is for the diehard EE's only.

Like the most recent review said, this is one of the hardest undergrad ee classes after M16. How well you do in this class depends on 2 things: 1.ability to grasp abstract mathematical concepts 2.participation. I for one am not the sharpest when it comes to math and her monotonous lectures did not particularly help me feel engaged in the class. I would suggest taking this class with Lorenzelli (who is much easier and engaging) unless you're an ee zombie. And then there are the awful tests...which required you to think levels outside of the box and were computationally messy. Averages this year are actually a bit higher than previous years, which hurt me more on top of struggling to understand the challenging concepts. Four major topics in this class I would say are: convolution integral, laplace transform, fourier series, fourier transform. Homeworks varied in difficulty (hw 2 and 6 were the hardest IMO). Project was a bitch(had to double check your math AND graph everything in matlab, which I personally despised). To sum it up, average dry lecturer, tough tests and assignments, lenient curve at the end I guess. Avoid if you can, unless you're willing to make this class your top priority for the quarter and are ok with using Matlab a lot.

Was a difficult class for me in terms of grasping the concepts, and the difficulty was intensified by the challenging homework problems and exams. Would recommend taking it with another professor during another quarter if you can.

I liked the class, it's mainly a math class tho, altho the matlab thing was not interesting , the rest is pretty good
