Fairly good professor.
Weekly quizzes were tough and there was no midterm.
Final was hard.
whoever did that rating is an idiot. You guys are just dumb and couldn't get the material. Blame yourselves.
I think his tests were all pretty fair and that the averages should have been much higher. I'm not one of the people that did really well in this class either, I got a B. Maybe the reason the scores were so low was because of the ambiguity of some of the questions? He was not bad at teaching but sometimes it was hard to understand what he was saying because of his accent/fast talk.
This guy is plain weird. His lectures can get annoying because you will find yourself not being able to understand what he is saying... as he speaks very fast and swallows words. Nevertheless, read the book and attend every lecture, his notes make more sense than anything that comes out of his mouth. His quizzes and exams are ridiculously difficult though. So, be prepared for a GPA drop.
Lectures are horrible. He's extremely talented at putting people to sleep. Lectures follow the textbook pretty closely, but quizzes and tests seem to have next to nothing to do with anything. They cover the topics covered in class, but the questions themselves are often something obscure and never mentioned. By week 5 or so, only half the class show up to lectures. Take at your own risk.
Professor appears inexperienced, and lacking care, enthusiasm for the subject.
I took him a while ago but I recall him being a pretty good professor. His lectures were clear, he followed the book pretty closely, and his grading was fair. I don't recall homework or exams being overtly difficult. I'd take him again.
Simply terrible. I'm happy I got a very good grade in his class but he is really bad, probably the worst professor I've ever had. If you want to take it, go ahead but it is risky...I really hated him, so as most people. It is not impossible to get an A though.
He is one of the worst professors in the EE department. His lectures covered examples that did not help with any of the homework or the tests. He ended lectures very early most of the time because he couldn't be bothered to actually teach. His tests are pretty hard, but don't expect a good curve. He's too lazy to come up with new questions, so he just reuses past test questions that many people have. If you have seen those questions before you will do well. If you haven't you won't. It's as simple as that.
It's also worth knowing that many people who took this class with Gupta when I did got lower grades than they were expecting. When they asked to see their finals he said that no one could see them and he ignored all other emails asking to view tests. Because of this, it seems like there was something very wrong going on. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS AT ALL.
I have no idea why there are so many negative ratings... but maybe Professor Gupta has changed. EE 10 with gupta couldn't have gone much better. He is one of the most organized professors I've ever had at UCLA. He podcasted, posted his notes online, asks you to fill a short survey every few weeks to see what you want him to review, has his TA's do countless review sessions and extra office hours... and is just good at teaching the class. People get skeptical because he has an Indian accent... but he speaks English better than we do. The guy is a genius and cares for his students. He knows how to answer your question if you ask him during lecture and really cares for you to get it. He gives you so many practice problems, that if you actually do them all you will definitely get an A. He even gives practice Midterms and final... He wants you to do well! I hope more ppl from this quarter's ee10 rate him, becuz his ratings need to go up and I know a lot of people liked him
