I am a big fan of Professor Dolecek. She writes lots of clear notes in her lecture and I find it very easy to follow. I can always view her lecture notes on canvas and find exactly where she discusses a specific topic. Her midterms were both very fair and straightforward. The project was a decent amount of work but the TA and professor did a good job of walking us through it over the course of the last few weeks.

I'm not going to lie, the final hit me like a truck. It was much more difficult than I expected, and I did not do well. The other parts of the course were enough for me to hold the A but it was close. The exam made me upset at the time. I wish it was more like the midterms, but it's in the past. I still highly recommend taking this course with Dolecek as it is required. Out of the required classes for EE, this is one of the better ones. They are all rough.

I did not really like her.
She basically wrote the course reader on the board.
She has an accent and is hard for to understand.
She is not very clear and does not do very many examples.
Questions on the hw are impossible and u need to have past solutions.

Midterms and finals were fair but her curve was non existent/bad.
Did above average on final, average on midterm, 100's on all the hw's, top 10% on the matlab project and i got a B.

The TA was pretty whatever, tl dr i would not recommend taking the class with her.

Solid professor. Lectures worth attending and work load isn't too high. Final exam average was really low but curved.

Lots of material is covered in this class. Lara knows her stuff but can be very intimidating sometimes. Final was ridiculously difficult.

131 is a hard class in general (unless you're a math major taking this for fun, in which case it was probably child's play), but Lara is a good professor.

Lots of content. Workload is not too bad, a couple problems a week and a MATLAB project towards the end. Lectures were definitely worth the two hours. Midterm and final have grade distributions are low but curved. Would take this class again with this professor.

The exam is very tricky. It seems the professor want to lower the grade as much as possible. Grading is harsh. You will lose a lot of points on the stuff that you know how to do. Probability is not an easy class, but this professor make it harder. Her lecture is okay, but her hand-writing is extremely difficult to decipher.

Damn this class was tough. Attending lectures is a must since the assigned book in my experience was too complicated with its mathematical notation of simple concepts. The midterm and final exams were also quite tough with the midterm average at around 67. However, I do give Professor Dolecek props because her lectures were clear and well paced for the amount of material she taught.
Also there is a final project on matlab that spills over into finals week so figure out how to schedule your time with working on it.

Despite my grade, I would rank this as one of the hardest classes I've taken. Professor Doleček does a very good job as a lecturer (probably because of her experience teaching this class). The homework was challenging but didactic, and I truly felt I learned a lot from the class.

However, the midterm was just brutal. Walking out of the midterm I felt like I utterly failed – even worse than any test in a Professor Paul Eggert class, for those of you CS/E majors reading this. But they do give out significant partial credit, so you get a lot of points just for being on the right track. The final was hard but less so compared to the midterm. The curve was pretty generous though.

She doesn't upload any lectures or slides on CCLE, but she writes down everything on board, every concept from basic to advance, every proof even with the baby steps. She's really good at teaching and her lectures were amazing, were after taking her class I started to do a minor in math as well. Her class is based on weekly hws that involves matlab coding, a project at the end which she gives you at least 3-4 weeks to do it, and a midterm and final which is really similar to her leture examples not the hws.

This class quite challenging.Be prepared for a lot of math (matrix calculus, probability, convex optimization). Professor Dolecek goes through all the mathematical proofs in detail. But you still need to spend some extra time to learn and understand them. (Also her handwriting makes her slides unreadable, so do take notes during lectures otherwise you won't understand what she was writing).
The homework is usually 5-6 problems, with 1 or 2 asking you to implement an algorithm you learned in class with python or matlab. It is definitely time consuming, especially the programming problems. I personally spent ~10hrs per week for the homework (partially because I'm not familiar with python and matlab). However, after struggling through all the problems, I did learn a lot.
The midterm was a lot easier than the homework. So don't get too stressed for that. (I can't speak for the final though bc I opt-out of it).
Overall I'll recommend this course. It's challenging but you learn a lot.
