Easiest courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering

The workload involves showing up and building circuits, with minimal expectations for deep comprehension, though tests are created by TAs and vary each semester.[1]

Historical reviews of Irena Knezevic: Grading relies on three exams, but homework is important for understanding; one review notes excessive late assignments and difficult textbook readings as a burden.[1, 2]

Historical reviews of Kangwook Lee, Pedro Morgado, Yu Hen Hu: The course is consistently described as difficult with a heavy workload, including extensive homework, group projects, and dense theoretical content requiring strong math backgrounds.[1, 2, +2]

The course involves significant coding and project work, with some reviews noting a heavy reliance on self-learning from datasheets. Exams can be tough, and the workload demands consistent effort and attention to detail.[1, 2, +3]

Homework and projects are described as easy but time-consuming, with one reviewer noting significant hours required for the project component.[1, 2]

Homework is challenging and time-consuming, but attending discussion sessions and collaborating with groups makes the class much easier to manage.[1, 2]

Some reviewers characterize the course as one of the most unnecessarily difficult they have taken, citing dense lectures, illegible handwriting, and exams that are heavily weighted and unrealistic compared to teaching.[1, 2, 3]

The class is considered easy, though one review notes irregular homework, unpredictable prelab quizzes, and delayed grading.[1]

Historical reviews of Bernard Lesieutre: The class starts hard but clarifies before midterms. Tests are reasonably difficult but feature a generous curve, and exams closely mirror practice problems.[1, 2]

The course is extremely difficult with long, challenging homework assignments that can take up to 20 hours, requiring substantial independent study time.[1, 2, 3]

Historical reviews of Anthony Gregerson, Mikko Lipasti, Younghyun Kim: The semester project requires significant effort and early planning. Workload varies widely, with some noting overwhelming weekly assignments or challenging midterm coding exams.[1, 2, 3]

Historical reviews of Irena Knezevic, Nader Behdad: Irena Knezevic assigns long homework and challenging exams that are often too long for the time given. Nader Behdad’s class is not a pushover, requiring significant time on homework to understand concepts for exams.[1, 2, 3]

The course is a flipped classroom requiring significant pre-class study and consistent attendance to prevent material from stacking up quickly.[1, 2, 3]

The course includes five graded homeworks, two midterms, and a final. While some find exams manageable with lecture notes, others report they are unexpectedly difficult or narrowly focused.[1, 2, 3]

Projects are lengthy and require early starts, while bi-weekly quizzes and dense course materials add to the workload and preparation demands.[1, 2, 3]

Exams are poorly designed with high-stakes questions, and the course covers too many topics with insufficient depth, creating a stressful workload.[1]
