Winter 2025 - Markovic is a decent professor. He's very smart, which can be a detriment when he's lecturing as he'll often gloss over details or assume things are obvious that aren't. Up until the midterm, the class is fairly light, and the midterm is pretty easy as long as you study and understand the homeworks. This quarter, the group project was not well-designed, but Markovic and the TA support you and your group a ton through the project, and as long as you start early your group should be fine. It's graded on a scale of 90%, 95%, 100%, so as long as you meet the basic requirements, you'll be fine. The final though was much harder than the midterm. Some of the stuff on the final was barely covered in class or the homework, and it challenged me to remember concepts I barely knew. I ended up doing fine, but you can't assume it'll be as easy as the midterm was. He holds weekly OH and those are really very useful, especially if you want to go over examples or understand concepts from the homework. All in all though, I think over half of my class(maybe around 2/3) got an A, so it's definitely not a hard class and I learned a lot from him.

Fall 2023 - This is an important class in circuit design. Do not however take this class. When it comes time to final grades, he purposely does not post them till after New Year so he does not get regrade requests or questions about the grades. He also has very open ended final exam questions which when you point them out to him he gets mad and says "your job to study my job to grade." when you point out the ambiguities or that your answer is valid. He tells us one thing in class and then does what he wants and denies it. For the project, he said to us in class that passing the testbench should be fine, but later penalized us for something that his test bench was not set up to check at any time. He is not a good professor and shows disregard to the hard work that the students do with his ruthless grading mentality at the end. He has done this in multiple Fall quarters and after the GPA hit people get from it they dont want to take 216B with him.

Prof. Dejan is a very decent professor. He is very generous in grading. I took his "neuroengineering" class. I can say that he did not put so much effort in class and was not available outside the class so much (except office hours) but he graded midterms and hws very generously and at the end his letter grading was really generous.
