This is a quite difficult class and goes at quite a fast pace. It is very important to not fall behind on material. Professor Dolecek is a great lecturer and explains things well. She also sets expectations quite well and the TAs make homework that is quite representative of the test difficulty, and if anything the homework is a bit more difficult. The class is topped with a project that is a bit of a grade booster, but make sure you start it on time. The professors notes are also quite good since she literally writes down everything she says, but sometimes it is a bit hard to read(fortunately there are anon questions on piazza!)

While not the easiest class out there, it was certainly doable. The grade breakdown for the quarter was as follows:
15% - Homework
20% - Exam 1
20% - Exam 2
20% - MATLAB Project
25% - Final
The professor was really clear in her explanations, but her handwriting could be hard to read at times. Lectures are done on iPad, recorded, and posted on Canvas. The homeworks were all doable, but also got harder as the class went on. These assignments were all representative of problems you'd see on the exams. Because of the quarter system, the class does go at an increasingly fast pace, and feels especially rushed by the end of the quarter.

I am a big fan of Professor Dolecek. She writes lots of clear notes in her lecture and I find it very easy to follow. I can always view her lecture notes on canvas and find exactly where she discusses a specific topic. Her midterms were both very fair and straightforward. The project was a decent amount of work but the TA and professor did a good job of walking us through it over the course of the last few weeks.

I'm not going to lie, the final hit me like a truck. It was much more difficult than I expected, and I did not do well. The other parts of the course were enough for me to hold the A but it was close. The exam made me upset at the time. I wish it was more like the midterms, but it's in the past. I still highly recommend taking this course with Dolecek as it is required. Out of the required classes for EE, this is one of the better ones. They are all rough.

I did not really like her.
She basically wrote the course reader on the board.
She has an accent and is hard for to understand.
She is not very clear and does not do very many examples.
Questions on the hw are impossible and u need to have past solutions.

Midterms and finals were fair but her curve was non existent/bad.
Did above average on final, average on midterm, 100's on all the hw's, top 10% on the matlab project and i got a B.

The TA was pretty whatever, tl dr i would not recommend taking the class with her.

Solid professor. Lectures worth attending and work load isn't too high. Final exam average was really low but curved.

Lots of material is covered in this class. Lara knows her stuff but can be very intimidating sometimes. Final was ridiculously difficult.

131 is a hard class in general (unless you're a math major taking this for fun, in which case it was probably child's play), but Lara is a good professor.

Lots of content. Workload is not too bad, a couple problems a week and a MATLAB project towards the end. Lectures were definitely worth the two hours. Midterm and final have grade distributions are low but curved. Would take this class again with this professor.

The exam is very tricky. It seems the professor want to lower the grade as much as possible. Grading is harsh. You will lose a lot of points on the stuff that you know how to do. Probability is not an easy class, but this professor make it harder. Her lecture is okay, but her hand-writing is extremely difficult to decipher.

Damn this class was tough. Attending lectures is a must since the assigned book in my experience was too complicated with its mathematical notation of simple concepts. The midterm and final exams were also quite tough with the midterm average at around 67. However, I do give Professor Dolecek props because her lectures were clear and well paced for the amount of material she taught.
Also there is a final project on matlab that spills over into finals week so figure out how to schedule your time with working on it.

Despite my grade, I would rank this as one of the hardest classes I've taken. Professor Doleček does a very good job as a lecturer (probably because of her experience teaching this class). The homework was challenging but didactic, and I truly felt I learned a lot from the class.

However, the midterm was just brutal. Walking out of the midterm I felt like I utterly failed – even worse than any test in a Professor Paul Eggert class, for those of you CS/E majors reading this. But they do give out significant partial credit, so you get a lot of points just for being on the right track. The final was hard but less so compared to the midterm. The curve was pretty generous though.
