Like the most recent review said, this is one of the hardest undergrad ee classes after M16. How well you do in this class depends on 2 things: 1.ability to grasp abstract mathematical concepts 2.participation. I for one am not the sharpest when it comes to math and her monotonous lectures did not particularly help me feel engaged in the class. I would suggest taking this class with Lorenzelli (who is much easier and engaging) unless you're an ee zombie. And then there are the awful tests...which required you to think levels outside of the box and were computationally messy. Averages this year are actually a bit higher than previous years, which hurt me more on top of struggling to understand the challenging concepts. Four major topics in this class I would say are: convolution integral, laplace transform, fourier series, fourier transform. Homeworks varied in difficulty (hw 2 and 6 were the hardest IMO). Project was a bitch(had to double check your math AND graph everything in matlab, which I personally despised). To sum it up, average dry lecturer, tough tests and assignments, lenient curve at the end I guess. Avoid if you can, unless you're willing to make this class your top priority for the quarter and are ok with using Matlab a lot.

The rumors are true, this class is one of the most difficult you can take after M16. Cabric is a clear teacher which is rare for a EE professor. But her homework and exams are on the impossible end of the spectrum. Grading is very fair and problems rely on you knowing the theory rather than memorizing strategies for solving problems as her and her super smart TAs design exams that are like convoluting puzzles (pun intended) and require on the spot thinking. If you really want to learn signals and systems then take it with Cabric, otherwise I'd go with an easier professor. This is for the diehard EE's only.

Cabric is not bad for 102. I had her for both M16 & 102. M16 wasn't that great of an experience, but it wasn't too hard of a class either.

I actually liked her 102 class a lot. You have to pay attention and ask questions if you want to learn tho.

For the longest time I never understood why Cabric gets such a low rating here. I had her for M16 and 102 and I thought she was fairly good, though a little boring during lectures. Homework was easy for M16 but challenging for 102. She was friendly in office hours and you could tell she actually cared about doing a good job in lecture. Her TA's where horrible however. In both cases (M16 and 102) her midterms were very straightforward and too easy, but the finals were both tricky. I hear a lot of people complain about the difficulty of her finals, but personally I think that it is just that they are very difficult compared to the midterms. To be fair her finals are difficult but fair, so you just have to be prepared. I'm no genius but I worked hard in her classes and did well. She's not strict with her grading policy either. I was in the top 20% for 102 and got an A. Seems pretty standard to me.

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.

For your own good, avoid her at all costs.

When I took EE 102 with Professor Cabric, she was just getting started teaching, but even in her first class, she was pretty effective at teaching the material.

Each day, she would write out a daily agenda to give us an idea of what we were going to learn in class that day. Many times, she'll review the concepts learned in previous lecture to reinforce our understanding and help us comprehend the later parts of the course.

The homework itself was relatively okay, but there were always one or two really tricky questions that required you to go to office hours. The midterm was somewhat difficult, and the final was pretty difficult. The averages on both exams weren't impressive to say the least, but at least the curve helped me get an A- in the class.

All in all, I would recommend Professor Cabric for an EE course. Maybe not M16 because I heard that she just lectures with powerpoint slides, but in a math-intensive class, I would recommend her.
