She taught everything in class but put nothing useful online, her hw was easy compared to her tests, there was no fairness in taking this course with her
She seems fine when you start the quarter but her inefficiency creeps up on you.
Midterm was totally unfair final was worse ended up with a C-
Take M16 with Professor Yutao He if you can Hes awesome
I avoided taking her for 102 because everyone who has her dislikes her after

She could not explain the point very efficiently and clearly. Feel she is the worst prof I have ever met. I asked some of my friends, most of them do not understand what she was talking. Also, I would like to say she gives scores totally depends on whether she like you or not. Her 209AS scores are all about the final projects without exam. The project is open. So, if she likes your idea and you, fortunately, you will get high scores even you nenver show up in class. Otherwise, no matter how cool and difficult your idea is, or how hard you work on this project, sorry, you have no chance to get high scores from her even you get a nice result. Sometimes, you will feel it is unfair to give you such scores.

In a word, she gives scores without any relation to the academic performance.

Prof.Cabric is decent
Although she is busy most of the time, she does well during lecture. She explains things fairly well and although her lecture notes are part of the textbook, they are pretty useful because they contain essential parts of the book. I never had to look at textbook for the first 6weeks because her lectures were good enough. As it gets pretty difficult towards the end of the material, you need to spend sometime reading textbook to understand. As for the discussion, the TA is very nice and reachable. The problems covered during discussion sections are extremely helpful and homework problems also help a lot. If you know how to solve those problems yourself, you will have no problem on the exams. The exams are not that difficult and easier than the hw problems or those covered in discussion. Quizzes are very simple and easy but if you don't keep up with your work, you will easily get very low grade. Lastly, I recommend her for M16.

If you are a cs major, I wouldn't take this class--take the cs version, unless you really enjoy ee. Because for the most part, Cabric isn't very good at explaining concepts and she's not very available (like during office hours) or helpful. She seems patient at first, but then she starts scheduling other meetings during her office hours so things feel rushed and she asks you to look at the textbook. Very annoying to have a professor who doesn't take the time to explain things to his/her students.

Also, the exams are graded very harshly. If you get the first part of a problem wrong, you get the rest of the problem wrong basically since the rest of the problem is based off the result of the first part. And the homework is also very hard in that she doesn't do similar problems during lecture and my TA wasn't very good either so I had almost nobody to go to.

But if you have to take this class, log on to the past quarter of her classes to look at past midterms and past hw solutions using her visitor login username and password she gives you during the first lecture. (She keeps the same guest login every year basically) It's very useful--the most useful between a sucky TA and her lectures.

I don't see why she has bad reviews.

I felt that just by going to lecture I understood what was going on. Didn't even have to use the book much, which is unusual for UCLA. Also, she seems to think that her M16 class is easier than other professors'. We didn't have to learn verilog in ours.

I went to her office hours once, and she was pretty helpful.

For your own good, avoid her at all costs.

Pros:
All of the notes are online
There is a lenient curve (43/61= C+)

Cons:
The lectures are not helpful for the homework during the first seven weeks of the class.
The homework's not helpful for the test and quizzes.
There are extremely difficult quizzes during the discussion session, which show how little the class has actually learned
You will have to teach yourself many of the more difficult concepts
Coming out of the class, and due to her strange grading style (median on two of the quizzes was a zero and the median for the final was 37.5)
for the first 8 weeks of the class she just reads off of her notes often times word for word.

EE102
Cabric class is the most strange class ever. Usually, she will ask a weekly homework and you will notice that students who don't know how to do the homework do better than others who know how to do it. I don't dare to go so far, but I suspect that some of her students get privileged information about what problems are included in the midterm and final. If you think that you are going to get into the privileged group able to get that information, take it with her, otherwise, forget it. You will end hating her and with your GPA downgraded.

Basically (<- get used to hearing this word) she was average. Her teaching was not great, not much better than the textbook (though I found that if I went to lecture I didn't need to read the textbook).

Midterm average: 56%, Final average: 41% so her tests were pretty hard. Her grading on the tests was not generous as the M16 student noted. You need to FINISH the problem and double check it to get full credit. In some senses it was more beneficial to spend your time doing the easier problems and checking them to get points for certain.

did not like this class with her. had pop quizzes in lecture, so you had to attend them. homeworks were difficult and her lectures often didn't help with them. really low averages on midterm and final grades, so the curve helps out a lot. if you can take it with another teacher, your best bet would probably be to do that.
