Course summary

Negative

ELEC2843 is a challenging course that requires significant self-study, especially due to the lecturer's accent. It’s best suited for those who are prepared to dedicate substantial time to independent learning and have strong self-discipline. The grading can be harsh, with some students barely scraping by or failing despite attending classes regularly.

Grading

Grading is harsh; many students find it difficult to get a good grade without extensive self-study and practice exams.

Workload

Heavy workload due to the need for substantial self-study. Students report spending several hours per week on assignments and preparation, with frequent quizzes and a final exam that requires comprehensive understanding of the material.

Assessments

Assessment includes 10 quizzes (one question each), a final exam focusing on conceptual questions, problem sets, and in-class assignments. Past exams are recommended for practice.

Teaching

The professor has an accent that makes lectures difficult to follow, but is knowledgeable about the subject matter. TAs struggle with communication as well.

Tips

1. Self-study is crucial; make sure to do every question in the notes and tutorial questions. 2. Focus on understanding concepts rather than just memorizing examples.
