Winter 2020 - As a transfer student to UCLA I wouldn't expect ECE department to assign an unexperienced professor assistant for such important class like this. I loved the material of this class but this instructor made the class HORRIBLE. He didn't know what his doing and all he did was to upload lectures online and just put them on screen in class with absolutely no explanation. He didn't even put an effort to make his own hw sets, he just gave us one his colleges hws from few quarter ago without even changing his name, and obviously more than half of the class had the solution. Our midterm was way to hard with so many question and instead of having 2 hour of lecture time for the test we only got 70 min so no one could finish the test and when everyone complained the TA's said the instructor didn't informed us that you don't have the whole lecture time for midterm. Overall this class is the worst class I ever took in my entire life. My recommendation: if you see "X. Chen" listed for any class in ECE department just avoid taking that class even if you get behind for a year.
