I took Kadambi in Spring 2020 so it was completely online. He was a really fun and nice professor and his annotated slides are really good. He follows the philosophy of offering hard classes with easier/relaxed grading. The homework was pretty hard and I spent multiple days on it every week. But the midterm and final were actually easier than the HWs (median for the midterm was 91.5). He made both the midterm and final 24 hours long before the quarter even started. He does this because he sympathizes with the difficulty of the UC system compared to private schools (he went to Berkeley for undergrad and MIT for his PhD). Overall, really fun and cool professor and I personally would take this class with Kadambi again if I had to!

Professor Kadambi is a fantastic professor, and even though he's fairly new to the whole professorship spiel, his lecturing was concise and engaging. This quarter, the class was taught online, and his method of administering the course was recording the lecture, having us watch it on our own, and letting us ask questions (office hours style) during Wednesday "lecture" - so a flipped classroom. He also annotated slides which were uploaded in both un-annotated and annotated form. Additionally the TAs would upload discussion worksheets with solutions including all the work to get to the solution, and this helped immensely with figuring out how to approach the homeworks.

All in all, I would take another class with this professor if I could.

Really great lecturer with engaging stories that explain historical background of how some of these ideas and concepts were discovered. Homework took some time but was manageable. Midterm was very fair and average was around an 82. I think that was higher than he may have wanted so to compensate the final was beyond impossible. There are some extra credit opportunities from in class quizzes

I believe grading is somewhat lenient. I scored 96 on the midterm, 77 on the final, with around a 95 average on homework and got an A

Best class ever. Free A

I love Prof. Kadambi. He explains very abstract and complex concepts in a clear and organized manner. The contents are interesting. The professor is not strict at giving grades, so there is not too much pressure in learning. Overall, EE149 is one of the best courses I have ever taken at UCLA and Prof. Kadambi is one of the best professors at UCLA.

This is an excellent class, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. He is incredibly passionate and cares a lot about the students. Was very generous and understanding. I would also recommend that this class by cross listed as both a CS and EE course.

The professor is very nice, humorous, and explains concepts clearly. The course workload is also quite manageable, with exams that are reasonably challenging. The only minor issue is that the course schedule can be a bit tight, leading to some content being skipped towards the end. It might be helpful to organize and allocate the lecture time more effectively.

Best professor I have ever had. He's awesome, super caring for his students, and genuinely just loves teaching. Take any class with Professor Kadambi and you will not regret it that is a guarantee.

One of the most interesting class I've taken at UCLA so far! grading is stress-free, material is super interesting, and the professor is very fun!

Professor Kadambi is extremely knowledgeable and explains all concepts very clearly. Highly recommend taking this class with him. Tests are very fair and I like how this class is structured overall.
