Briggs is a solid professor. His lectures are pretty straightforward, weekly quizzes were at 8am sharp which was rough but the quizzes themselves were objectively quite easy (averages usually near 100%). The lab sections were helpful, and homework assignments were decent for the most part (later homework assignments were a bit difficult). The main focus of this class is on the car project and PID control. Getting credit isn't too hard, but quite some time is required if you want a fast completion time for extra credit. Overall, I don't have much to say; Briggs is a decent teacher and the class is overall not too difficult if you put the time in.

Should have a prerequisite of Physics 1B and possibly CS30/31 (the main project involves simple code). Briggs actually didn't believe me when I told him Physics 1B was not a prerequisite for the class. Having never taken physics before, the material was difficult, but if you've taken Physics 1B then I'm pretty sure it would all be quite easy. The main project is essentially worth 60% of the grade, 30% for completing the project and 30% for the report, neither of which is very difficult. There were quizzes at the start of every class, which were not hard. Briggs is not an engaging speaker, so lectures move extremely slowly. I would not recommend taking it with him if you can avoid it. I would recommend Xin Li as a TA, if he's there.

I would highly recommend taking this class with professor Briggs. Even though his lectures were sometimes unorganized, they were really interesting and fun to watch. The only part that I didn't like was the weekly quizzes that he gave - even though those were extremely easy, having people attend 8am classes for a 15-minute quiz every single week was kind of redundant as he could've made those once every two weeks instead. The first half of this class was definitely more important than the rest since all of the quizzes were based on the materials taught in the first five weeks. Overall, this class was really enjoyable and I believe people would like it a lot.

Professor Briggs is a really caring and helpful professor. The class consisted of a few labs at the beginning, and a project and report for the rest of the quarter. The project was very straight forward, and the grading was generous. It consisted of having a car follow a path. Quizzes were given out during the first 15 minutes of lecture, and were very similar to the practice problems. The final was similar to this, and not too difficult.
The class had a little trouble transitioning to an online format, but Professor Briggs was a pretty good lecturer, and it was enjoyable.

Easy class with fun project. Dr.Briggs had a lot of technical difficulties during lectures and is may not be the best at giving zoom lectures. But the lecture content can be easily found online and self-taught. Mandatory 8am quizzes were hmm..... but just do what you gotta do to submit that answer by 8:15. The best way to prepare for quizzes and the final is to look at practice problems and solutions. if you're stuck to any degree on the project, get help from your TA - it'll be much faster than trying to figure it out yourself. Overall not difficult but also not exciting online but oh well it's another requirement for your major that you just have to deal with.

Do not hesitate to take EE 3 with Briggs. He is a very helpful professor and only wants his students to succeed. The classes had 8 or 9 quizzes, which were each one question long and based on the previous week's problem set material and straightforward. There's no midterm. Half the grade is the line following robot car, which pretty much everyone gets close to or 100 on. The final was a joke. Overall, easy class and helpful professor.

Professor Briggs is extremely kind and helpful, making this class pretty enjoyable. The content isn't super difficult, though some of the new circuit components/setups are difficult at first. There isn't any "homework" other than the final project/report of a path following car, but he posts weekly problem sets to help prepare for quizzes (which are far easier than the problem sets).

Honestly don't know if there is someone easier than him, class is based on quizzes which are straight from his lectures, few lab reports that only last for first half of the quarter, a project which is really straight forward and if you spend more time on it you can get extra credit, and final exam which was a joke but we still had curve on it.

Professor Briggs is really nice and willing to help his students. Although a lot of people say that the class is really easy I honestly struggled with the material in the beginning and would always have to look at the solutions for the practice problems. I suggest going to his office hours to get help on the practice problems that are a little unclear as most of the quizzes are just simpler versions of practice problems. The lab report at the end did not seem to be graded very harshly and after you can complete the basic requirements for the final project for a full score I suggest working on the extra credit instead of trying to make your run time faster. The final was pretty easy, since we were allowed a cheat sheet I just wrote almost all the practice problems/solutions on it and out of the 6 problems on the final, 2 were exactly the same as the practice problem (same numbers) and the other 4 were really similar such as changing the numbers.

Dr. Briggs is a great lecturer who really does care about student learning. He's not a tenured professor and doesn't do research (he went from working in the auto parts industry to teaching), so his time at UCLA is 100% focused on helping students. Related to that, he'll often mention the application of whatever subject he's lecturing about in an automotive context during lecture; from what I could tell, this was hit or miss for people in my class (but a total hit for me!). His lectures are fairly interesting overall and I don't think they were a problem in this class, though YMMV. He held plenty of office hours and extra lab hours to help students get work done and help with some harder topics. Punctual attendance is basically required since there's a quiz at the beginning of every class. The quizzes are not difficult if you look at the practice problems that he posts the week before. Those practice problems are typically much more difficult than the quizzes, but are not graded, and as mentioned before, it is easy to get help. The lab project starts halfway through the quarter, and the requirements are not difficult to meet (though I hear he's making it a bit harder every quarter). If you have experience with Arduino and any semblance of free time to spare on the project, you will be fine. The final resembles the practice questions in terms of difficulty, but if you study the problems just like you would any other class, you will be fine. In general, the class is easy as long as you keep up with the material. Not much is being asked of you in this intro class.
