About this rating

Raw average: 1.96/5 from 24 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

ECE 340
Quality 4/5Difficulty 4/5
Just show up to classes lol. He will cover exactly what will be on the test(albeit rapidly at times), and the content is pretty linear. Not to mention he does review zooms before exams that I'd say have ~60% of all of the content you'd need. He can be a bit dismissive of questions/shortcomings at times, show up and take half decent notes.

claims to care about students but gives ZERO partial credit on exams. grades for correctness. i would take any professor other than srdjan. has no problem giving you 0 points on a 40 point problem. clearly has no conscious about student sucess. so unfortunate.

Condescending, unapproachable, and dismissive. Said he “can't put knowledge in your brain.” Exams are unrealistic and badly aligned with teaching; averages under 60%. Office hours are limited and unhelpful. Easily the most discouraging class I've taken.

Poor teaching effectiveness, not enough material provided for exam study. exam heavy, signifcantly lower average GPA compared to other professor in same semester, like lower by 1.0 GPA

For ECE 340, Srdjan is an enthusiastic professor. He is what I would describe as a very stereotypical engineering professor. The format of the class was three lectures a week, with one homework due on Friday. I felt like he cared about us and our understanding of the material. He worked throughout the semester on critiques that students gave.

He cares a lot about students learning the material and actually being able to apply it, however it comes off as him being a "difficult" professor, however, the nature of the course is already difficult. Going to office hours was useful as he will walk you through problems and ask for student feedback on his teaching.

Past student reviews · Srdjan Milicic

Srdjan Milicic required 5-8 page individual lab reports after each session. Students described this as excessive work for a 1-credit course, with one estimating reports took five hours and another suggesting the workload matched a 3-4 credit class.
