Fall 2024 - This class is very useful till the midterm. After that, Markovic is gonna bombard you with 70 useless slides every session. Our last week was practically the ISSCC talk he never got to give! He spent an hour discussing his previous work, which by no means fits into the scope of the class. All HWs are copied from previous years, and they always have different solution keys!!! In the final exam grading, I got access to a few graded papers, and oh boy! The guy with top marks was granted full marks for wrong answers, while others wrote the exact same thing and got penalized for it. He made sure he released the grades on the last day, so we cannot even request revisions. Dejan Markovic practically gets the course out his way, like washing the dishes, for example! He has no interest in actually managing and teaching it.

pro: Ken Yang is a very nice guy, knowledgable professor. cons: 1. He scanned through a hundred slices in one and a half hour, with brief/no explanation, with soft voice. I got lost after 30 mins of lecture. 2. He doesn't care too much about students besides teaching. He is not responsive on the questions in Piazza (class forum for students to ask question). 3. His grading is not fare, tests and homework does not reflect to the lecture. Conclusion: Nah~! please try to avoid him. He is the second worst EE professor in UCLA. The worst one is Jason Woo who is his friend. If you have to take him, GOOD LUCK!
