Professor Lorenzelli is a great guy. He's not the most energetic lecturer but he is thorough and clear. If you follow what he teaches in lecture or review his lecture notes, you can do pretty darn well in this class. Homework assignments were usually very straightforward and didn't take as much time as my other classes. Breaks were sometimes accompanied by a very special guest speaker-- his cat! Lorenzelli's cat is best cat 10/10

Professor Lorenzelli is a really nice guy and definitely ranks high up on my list of good EE professors. While he is a little soft spoken, this can be remedied by sitting towards the front of the classroom (or you can suggest he brings a mic to class). His lectures are pretty clear he does plenty of examples, which is nice since it seems like a lot of upper division EE class professors rarely go through pertinent example problems.

The homework and computer assignments aren't bad at all. Some problems make you scratch your head a bit, but Professor Lorenzelli is very welcoming when it comes to answering questions during breaks or after class for office hours (the TA for Winter 2013, Jerry, was also awesome in this regard). His exams (which were a joint effort to produce between Professor Lorenzelli and the TA Jerry) were fair overall, with the midterm being extremely easy (92/110 average) and the final being about what you would expect from an EE final (61/100 average).

Other than that, Professor Lorenzelli is fun to talk to during office hours because speech and image processing is a subject he is very much interested in, so I encourage you to talk to him about any subject related that may or may not be related to the class. Finally, if you pay attention to lectures/discussions and stay on top of homework you'll come out of the class knowing the material well and wind up with a good grade. I would definitely recommend taking EE 114 with Professor Lorenzelli, or whatever other courses the EE department has him spot fill for.

MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR OF ALL TIME. He is the BEST. He is such a nice person and he is fun. He was the first professor who actually made me think that EE is a very interesting subject to learn and studying EE can be really fun. Midterm was easy but the final made me think but wasn't bad at all because I studied. I went to all the lectures for the first time in my four years of UCLA. I am so glad that I took his class before graduating. I see someone wrote about him mumbling but come on, if you can't understand well, you were probably sitting in the back and not paying attention. I was at the front seat all the time and I found nothing wrong in his lecture skills. Someone mentioned about mistake too. He did make some mistakes in lectures but they weren't even crucial mistakes and he caught his mistakes all the time and fixed them too. Anyways, I hope I took 102 with him, then my UCLA life would have been changed because I had terrible and arrogant 102 professor who basically made me lose interest in EE. He truly cares about students learning materials. He was very eager to help students if they didn't understand something. Grazie Professor Lorenzelli!
