  • Showed up the four times we had to get the code and that was it. The department should get rid of it tbh. The speakers Scott Chen got were pretty good though.

  • Easy course to pass, literally just need to attend all lectures (if you don't you might need to do a small project but nothing very hard).

ECE 2A Term Average Calculation 9 points, 10 comments

“Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knew exactly how the term average is calculated with respect to ECE 204A? …”

u/halivera: “How did you make it to 2B without knowing how to calculate a mean. Don't you guys take a Stats course in 2A?”

u/yxpx: “I know how to calculate a mean, but I just wanted to confirm seeing as though ECE 200A is listed as having 0.10 units despite not counting towards your average.”

u/halivera: “I mean you didn't mention ECE 200A in your post, so I'm not sure how this post was supposed to confirm that...”

u/yxpx: “This post was supposed to confirm that courses with an atypical "Units" value (that aren't ECE 200A) contribute to the average the way I expect them to.”

“I'm sure a lot of you are or have been in this situation before. I've been struggling this term and I'm trying to see if I'm the problem or if the workload is. I'm a CS 2B student. …”

u/1926toInfinity: “… equations) MATH215 (Linear algebra) ECE204A (Matlab course) ECE290( Engineering laws) and ECE 200A which is useless. So from my point of view ECE is more intense, and each term has at least 6 to 8 courses. …”

u/MOSFETCurrentMirror: “Except Matlab and ECE200A, the rest are full load courses. You've seen our 2A schedule right? It pops up once in a while in this subreddit.”

u/ChromoZoneX: “… Personally, the only textbooks I actually used was the Physics (ECE 105) book and the ECE 200A book (for the quizzes). Depending on your professors, the textbooks for the rest of the courses are really not necessary. …”
