Briggs was straight up by the book, no curve balls or anything. I went to class probably three times and did really well. He offered three extra credit assignments which can boost your grade by a +/- for each one, so effectively one whole grade if you do all three. If your'e good at working out of the book then you should have no problem at all.

Winter 2023 - This class is interesting, to say the least. I personally didn't like the professor that much; his notes were always messy and unclear at times, all homework and exams were pretty hard and the textbook tended to have not many good examples for the types of questions we were given, and he was overall not clear/helpful when directly asked. My TA, Alexander, was outstanding. His discussion sections were great for getting good examples and a general review of what the professor taught poorly. Most people rate this class great due to the pre-applied curve, that is if you get over a 50%, that is passing (C-). Although it is nice, the grading is extremely strict, especially that they will take OFF points if you put wrong work down, so you could technically get negative points (yes you read that right). Midterms are only one hour, and the final was only 2 hours instead of the allotted 3, which made it a time crunch for the amount of questions given. As long as you do well on the homework and aim to get 50% on the exam, you'll be good grade wise, but the class was a pain to get through in the very least. Last thing, the material for the last three weeks of the course is extremely rushed if taken in the Winter quarter due to the holidays, but half of the final was on it. I would recommend taking it Spring as it has the least amount of holidays, so discussions and lectures aren't cut short.

Winter 2018 - There is WAY too much negativity on Lei He here and I won't stand for it. He is a great professor. Prof He was always willing to take the time to answer questions and provide additional explanations, and they provided a variety of resources and learning opportunities to help us succeed. They were also very fair and consistent with their grading. I highly recommend taking a class with Prof He. While it may be intimidating at first to have a professor with a bad reputation, I can assure you that Prof He is actually an amazing instructor who cares about their students and is dedicated to helping them succeed.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. First of all his examples and problems he does in class are nothing similar to what you see on the midterms and final. To do well in his class you need to understand his material at a level of an electrical engineer. But this is EE for NON-EE majors. It seems easy at first but towards the end he will squeeze in so much material that you will not have time to get comfortable with it before taking the final and then you're $#%!ed. Also really read the book and go to discussion and office hours. DO NOT rely on the lectures alone to teach you the material. He also has an accent. Its not bad but its apparent. do yourself a favor and avoid him in the future.
