I really do not recommend Chang for any EE class. His jokes aren't as funny as other students make them out to be; in fact, I remember one of his jokes talked about how Mechanical Engineers aren't as hard workers as Electrical Engineers. Even though I'm an EE major, I did not really appreciate that joke because I have several friends majoring in Mechanical Engineering.
He does not do much of the teaching in the class; instead, we had to depend on the TA. So, basically, if your TA is good, you will have an easy time in Chang's class. However, if your TA is often late to discussion and confuses students easily, like my TA was, this class will be MUCH harder than what it should be.
All in all, avoid Professor Chang if you can.
Overall, this is a decent class. Prof Chang isn't the best lecturer as he lectures with the assumption you already know the material and skims over examples. He does like to talk about the history and it is actually quite interesting to listen too. Also, he does like to crack jokes here and there which can be funny or maybe a little offensive if you're not a EE major. In terms of workload, you have weekly homework (10%), 2 midterms (20% & 30%), and the final (40%). The exams are not that difficult, but you do need to study to have a chance of doing well. The exams are similar to some lecture examples and homework questions so I recommend reviewing all relevant examples in the lecture and reviewing or even redoing the homework. Also, you have to memorize the equations since he doesn't allow you to use cheat sheets in the exams (there aren't that many). He does not curve, but has extra credit questions in the exams so if you mess up one exam, you have a chance to make up on the next one. As long as you don't slack off too much and put in some work to understand the material, you will do fine in the class.
