Quarter: Spring 2020
Grade: A
COVID-19 This review was submitted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Your experience may vary.
June 20, 2020

Markovic is a slightly above average EE professor. I’d say he’s better than most other EE professors with explaining things. But that is not to say that his explanations are amazing. He’d often go through things quickly and skip steps, and assume you knew things. But after rewatching his lectures and supplementing the material with Youtube videos, it was alright. Homeworks were kind of vague at times and difficult. The midterm was posted on CCLE and due 3 hours later on gradescope. The final was posted on CCLE and due 24 hours later. The midterm was alright but the finals was harder. There is a project where you have one partner. It was pretty time consuming. Projects were graded not only on correctness but also on how energy, time and space efficient your implementation was compared to others.

Overall I’d say he’s the best you can get for ee115c out of the other professors.

Note: this review was written from the perspective of a CSE major --

do not take this class. it makes zero sense --

I was lost ever since the first lecture. Since then, I have not been able to catch up. Sure, some subjects were easier than others, but he assumed we knew too much throughout the entire quarter. I kept going to lecture since they weren't recorded, but I found them pretty much useless. (He does post recordings of a previous quarter's lectures, but the material is slightly different). To catch up, I just watched Youtube videos from Patrick Mercier (who teaches a similar class at UCSD) and NPTEL.

As for the homeworks, they start off fine but after the midterm, they make less and less sense. Fortunately, they aren't worth much and grading was pretty chill.

The discussions were fine. The worksheets get posted with solutions so that means you can get away with skipping them.

The project wasn't terrible. Grading was pretty lenient -- you either got 100%, 95%, 90% based on your energy and delay as long as you finished everything on the spec. The main difficulty was working with Cadence as the documentation seemed pretty scarce. Just get a good group and you get ≥90%.

The tests on the other hand were another story. I scored pretty well on the midterm (probably because the material actually kinda made sense up to that point). The final, on the other hand, I absolutely bombed. The practice problems he gave us were helpful if you understood the steps, which is tough because lots of steps are skipped.

Again, if you're EE and you've taken similar classes in the past, you'll probably do better than me.
If you're CSE and took ECE100 -- trust me, that class doesn't teach you enough to prep for this... be ready to self study a lot :/

Strange class. It’s hard to take this without having taken 115A. I’m not sure what I learnt from it. Unless you must, avoid.

He's a good guy. Lectures were podcasted (aka I went to class all of twice). Material at the beginning goes pretty fast if you're not super good at 115A stuff (semiconductor physics). I was 25th percentile in 115A in the end and I was pretty confused by the beginning of 115c. Luckily it lightens up and gets really easy. Ended up 23/57, which turned out to be a B+.

I did poorly on the homework, but rocked the project. Got 2 points above average on both final and test. Studied like 4-5 hours total for each test.

Overall: Not a bad class, just don't underestimate the project. Grading super generous (50th percentile ~ B+ is crazy, I got a B in 115A for a 25th percentile).

Professor Markovic assumes you know everything. I personally know we're all confused. It's one of those classes where everyone but the four people raising hands and the ten people who are quiet know what's going on. Everyone else is completely lost.
