I took ECE100 with Professor Zhang and I think he is a good professor. He lectures well and covers the basics of circuits. He also shows us some real world applications of what we learn at the end of every lecture, which is cool. However, he went too slow in the first half of the class, which was mostly review for me since I had taken ECE3 and Physics 1B/1C before. Then, he went too fast in the second half, especially on MOSFETs, (which would later become super important in ECE115C). I wish he had spent more time on those topics and explained them better. The homeworks were mostly fine, except for the one on MOSFETs, which I couldn't finish it on time. The exams were also mixed. The midterm was too long and had too many problems, especially on 2nd order circuits, which took a lot of time to solve (but he curved generously!). Thankfully, he learned his lesson from the midterm. The final was better, as it was shorter and more balanced. He also gave us a practice exam before the final, which was helpful (a bit too helpful?). He graded generously and gave a lot of partial credit.

Overall, I learned a lot from this class and I liked Professor Zhang. He is a nice guy and has a good sense of humor. He definitely cares about his students and tries to make the class interesting and relevant. The only complaint I have is the pacing, but definitely take it with him if you can!

Just boosting Yang's stats. Definitely the one to take
