Professor Zhang puts in a real effort in conducting his lectures, and it shows. He spends a lot of time making sure every topic on his slides, every practice problem, every diagram is explained thoroughly as if ECE 3 isn't a pre req for this class. I ended up not going to lecture because of this, I felt the classes were redundant, but if you struggled in ECE 3 or didn't feel you learned much from Briggs then don't feel intimidated my taking ECE 10 with Zhang. The midterm and final are extremely fair -- midterm avg was 70s and final avg was 88.8. HW is 30%, Midterm 30% and final 60%. He offers 2% bonus credit for being in the top 10% of contributors on Piazza, 1% for the course eval, and he even has a "try harder" adjustment to your midterm if you had a 10 - 20 point increase in the final. Overall, professor Zhang is extrememly passionate and meticulate in his lectures and I am happy I had him.

Very reasonable hw, midterm, and final. Lectures can get boring but that's mostly due to the nature of the material, not the professor.

I believe this was Professor Zhang's first time teaching ECE 10, and it was fairly straightforward. In contrast to ECE 3, where you are merely introduced to various methods such as NVA, Impedance, and so on, Professor Zhang goes into detail about each topic and shows many examples in lecture.

His exams are fair and simple (Midterm Median ~ 89, Final Median ~ 85). If you review lecture examples and tackle the homework problems honestly, you should be fine. If you want to feel more prepared, I recommend doing extra problems from YouTube or the textbook (but this is not required).

I will say that he would sometimes ramble on about proofs, which could make you feel lost at times, but just remember that they are not required to be known. You'll do well if you understand both the lecture examples and main topics! He's very friendly and nice during office hours!
