Was a difficult class for me in terms of grasping the concepts, and the difficulty was intensified by the challenging homework problems and exams. Would recommend taking it with another professor during another quarter if you can.

I liked the class, it's mainly a math class tho, altho the matlab thing was not interesting , the rest is pretty good

The midterm and test were definitely challenging. She is somehow able to manifest a normal distribution perfectly centered around 50% on the midterm and final. The tests have quite a bit of computation so practice is key. Her lectures are pretty clear, though the 8AM brain fog doesn't help. She handwrites on her tablet. Definitely review complex numbers beforehand. I think that she's a great professor and would recommend her.

The class is very hard. Probably the toughest learning curve I have experienced so far. But this is not at the fault of Professor Cabric. She comes off as somewhat intimidating, but she is actually very kind and cares a lot about her students. The tests are hard, but mostly because of time constraints.

I don't have anything bad to say about Professor Cabric. I have plenty bad to say about the material though.

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews for her. If you attend the lectures and understand all the materials covered in homework, this class is not undoable. Her lecture notes are very clear and state which part is important for exam. Everyone I know in her class gets an A, and I don't know why the grade distribution looks like this. It's true that there are a lot of mathematical computations involved in this class, but you can't avoid it even if you take this class with another professor.

This was an easy and interesting class. There was a different UCLA alum guest speaker each week, each from a different industry, and it was interesting to hear their career path and what advice they give to you. Your grade is just attendance and a short question after each lecture, and the class is interesting if you like listening to guest speakers and not unbearable if you don't.

Ditto that review about the TA; if you get the class with Aditya Wadaskar as a TA, take it another quarter. Despite the shittiness of the experience due to the TA, the textbook is good enough that you could still appreciate the subject. I can't stress how amazing that is, since the class with this TA was unequivocally the worst experience I've ever had. It's a shame, since my roommate said he really enjoyed this class with Kao. If it were just discussion sections that were bad, it would be fine. But homeworks were amended many, MANY times--sometimes on the day it was due--making hours of work wasted. Cabric is a clear lecturer though. I do wish she had more hand in making the problem sets, since during office hours it didn't seem like she and Aditya were coordinating at all with respect to where we were in the course and what would be given as problems
