Fall 2019 - Took it because the EE department advisors recommended it to get an 'diverse overview' of what the industry is like... I disagree. This is just a speaker series class where a different EE alumni comes back to talk about what they do, how they got to where they are, and a bit about what their experience with UCLA was like (which won't matter much because on average they all graduated 10 years ago). Every single one of them talks about how they do a lot of CS in their day-to-day lives, some are in management, almost all of them have worked for Raytheon, it's not really interesting. Someone has to swipe everyone in for attendance. Every class they leave time for questions, and no one asks any. All that was asked in terms of work was to write a short a paragraph highlighting 3 take-aways for every lecture, never took me longer than 30 min. I wouldn't say it's a complete waste of time, but many of my peers would.

Her lectures were pretty clear and definitely worth going to. Midterm and final were definitely manageable and didn't have killer curveballs that destroy the average. Midterm average was about 76 and final average was about 73. Overall quite decent as a professor and not worth avoiding because of her high difficulty rating.
