If you are a cs major, I wouldn't take this class--take the cs version, unless you really enjoy ee. Because for the most part, Cabric isn't very good at explaining concepts and she's not very available (like during office hours) or helpful. She seems patient at first, but then she starts scheduling other meetings during her office hours so things feel rushed and she asks you to look at the textbook. Very annoying to have a professor who doesn't take the time to explain things to his/her students.

Also, the exams are graded very harshly. If you get the first part of a problem wrong, you get the rest of the problem wrong basically since the rest of the problem is based off the result of the first part. And the homework is also very hard in that she doesn't do similar problems during lecture and my TA wasn't very good either so I had almost nobody to go to.

But if you have to take this class, log on to the past quarter of her classes to look at past midterms and past hw solutions using her visitor login username and password she gives you during the first lecture. (She keeps the same guest login every year basically) It's very useful--the most useful between a sucky TA and her lectures.

Pros:
All of the notes are online
There is a lenient curve (43/61= C+)

Cons:
The lectures are not helpful for the homework during the first seven weeks of the class.
The homework's not helpful for the test and quizzes.
There are extremely difficult quizzes during the discussion session, which show how little the class has actually learned
You will have to teach yourself many of the more difficult concepts
Coming out of the class, and due to her strange grading style (median on two of the quizzes was a zero and the median for the final was 37.5)
for the first 8 weeks of the class she just reads off of her notes often times word for word.

did not like this class with her. had pop quizzes in lecture, so you had to attend them. homeworks were difficult and her lectures often didn't help with them. really low averages on midterm and final grades, so the curve helps out a lot. if you can take it with another teacher, your best bet would probably be to do that.
