As long as you actually study and don't rush through the homework and put in the effort to understand the material then getting a solid A is a guarantee. I got pretty lazy and really dropped the ball in the last few weeks which made my grade drop to an A-.
To me at least, I didn't find the material difficult and it was fairly straightforward. It's not as interesting and advanced math-heavy like 101A however. The midterm is fair, only 3 questions and as long as you do the homework and understand the information given from the question, then you will do good on the midterm. When I took this class there was no final due to the COVID-19 situation growing and my class just had a 2-page research report.
Overall, it's a chill class and nothing difficult as long as you do the work (and it's not much). Oh I also skipped all my discussion sessions and I was able to do fine, but I do encourage going to them if you are having trouble. If not, there's no need to go and they aren't mandatory.
Jarrahi's lectures are a very dry recap of the textbook with useful problem examples. Homework's are incredibly easy and have a limited connection to the exam. I think the TAs make the exams so really pay attention in discussion, review sessions, and OH to see what material and problem types are focused on.
imo textbook + discussion > lectures.
Every EE major knows this is the easiest class of all the other electives you could pick from. The entire material is comprised of 3 chapters from the E&M textbook used in EE 101A.
You have 5-6 homework assignments and all the answers are available online. Lectures were completely useless and slow. You are better off just reading the 3 chapters of the textbook and doing the homework and that would suffice for the entire quarter. No one attends any of the discussion sections.
Midterm was 2 questions, with the first question having 14 parts in it. Median was a 70. Final was 5 questions. The exams are not similar to the homework at all. The exams are similar to previous midterms from previous years. The Professor attaches similar exam problems on CCLE so it's recommended you study those for the exams.
Score at the median for the homework, midterm, and final and you will get a B+ or an A-.
