I have nothing bad to say about Professor Cabric; she's an excellent lecturer and explains concepts fairly well. I'd be willing to take her again for future classes (pending TA situation).
The TA though.... I know on Bruinwalk I shouldn't 't curse, but there's a phrase with word that starts with an "f" and ends with an "-uck him" that can only describe my feelings for this TA. I wont name his name, but everyone who took this class Winter 2022 knows who I am talking about. Unironically, because holy sh*t, the anal-ness of this TA is beyond describable, off the f***ing charts. Let me put this lightly, you are getting maybe like 25% of the amount of pent up frustration and contempt I had in dealing with this particular TA. I ain't no joker now, don't get it twisted, but holy f*** I went almost insane several times on the homeworks, which can only be described as hell.
Pre-2022 tests are hard for Cabric, which were tough but fair. Our TA, on the other hand, had other ideas... lets just say, our exam medians were about 10-20 points lower than previous years. Lmao. This is because of how the class works; the TA is responsible for creating and grading all the homeworks and tests. In previous years, this wasn't a problem as most TAs I'd imagine aren't freaking psychotic masochists. Winter 2022 TA however was, making sure our life was a living hell. It got so bad even the professor had to step in in the later weeks to tell our TA, "bro, chill TF out!" Damage was done unfortunately with midterm and homework grades.
I at least got the grade I desired. Others less fortunate than me don't have it so nice. All I can say is, whatever the hell you do, if you do not want years of life expectancy taken off, do not take this class if the TA's name fits the initials A.W. Maybe he is misunderstood and I'm being a harshass, but real talk, do you really want to care about whether his intentions are good or not when its 4 AM and you are still stuck on his damn homework from hell? Lmao.
Great class. Really enjoyed the final project in Matlab. The tests were hard but fair. The TA was very helpful for our year. Overall would recommend if you want a more rigorous introduction to signals and systems.
Most fun EE class so far. Really enjoyed the later discussions/lectures. Tests were hard but fair. Professor let us drop homework too which was nice. I really enjoyed the matlab project in the end; it really help solidify understanding of the subject. Overall 10/10 looking forward to ECE113 in the winter this year.
Ditto that review about the TA; if you get the class with Aditya Wadaskar as a TA, take it another quarter. Despite the shittiness of the experience due to the TA, the textbook is good enough that you could still appreciate the subject. I can't stress how amazing that is, since the class with this TA was unequivocally the worst experience I've ever had. It's a shame, since my roommate said he really enjoyed this class with Kao. If it were just discussion sections that were bad, it would be fine. But homeworks were amended many, MANY times--sometimes on the day it was due--making hours of work wasted. Cabric is a clear lecturer though. I do wish she had more hand in making the problem sets, since during office hours it didn't seem like she and Aditya were coordinating at all with respect to where we were in the course and what would be given as problems
The class is very hard. Probably the toughest learning curve I have experienced so far. But this is not at the fault of Professor Cabric. She comes off as somewhat intimidating, but she is actually very kind and cares a lot about her students. The tests are hard, but mostly because of time constraints.
I don't have anything bad to say about Professor Cabric. I have plenty bad to say about the material though.
The midterm and test were definitely challenging. She is somehow able to manifest a normal distribution perfectly centered around 50% on the midterm and final. The tests have quite a bit of computation so practice is key. Her lectures are pretty clear, though the 8AM brain fog doesn't help. She handwrites on her tablet. Definitely review complex numbers beforehand. I think that she's a great professor and would recommend her.
I don't know why there are so many bad reviews for her. If you attend the lectures and understand all the materials covered in homework, this class is not undoable. Her lecture notes are very clear and state which part is important for exam. Everyone I know in her class gets an A, and I don't know why the grade distribution looks like this. It's true that there are a lot of mathematical computations involved in this class, but you can't avoid it even if you take this class with another professor.
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.
