Fall 2019 - This isn't a review for the professor, E96 classes are taught by students. The professor only comes in on the first day and drops in the last day to listen to your presentations. I thought the class was great! I really enjoyed making an electrocardiogram. There are only a few easy assignments the first few weeks and then you work on an extension project. There are clear presentations with slides that go over the technical side of the project and the theory behind it. It's really not hard at all, more people should take this class.

Winter 2021 - This class isn't as bad as some people claim. Lecture is lowkey useless. Prof. Schmidt's lecture is an awkward stream of consciousness, that MOST people can't follow in the first go-around. The best way to study is the drill the old exams, study sets, and pick out concepts from the slides as they come. He doesn't do that many example problems in class, so the practice materials are the best way to figure stuff out. A lot of people are scared of the EE part of this class, but it's not that bad compared to EE100 usually. (EE professors are scarier than BioE professors in general.) Fourier transforms and series aren't that bad, review integration stuff from AP calculus
