VLSI design principles

Grading is considered generous by most students, with assignments and the final exam contributing equally to the grade.

The course has a heavy workload, with substantial content requiring focused attention. Students spend around 3 hours per week in lectures and need to start projects early due to vague requirements.

Assessment includes weekly assignments (about 50% of final grade), a final exam (also about 50%), and a project with unclear guidelines, though past papers are helpful for the final exam.

The professor is engaging and tells jokes, making lectures enjoyable. However, some students find the PPTs confusing, suggesting that attending all lectures is essential.

Start projects early to clarify requirements with tutors, as they can be vague. Utilize past papers for final exam preparation, and rely on resources like O4Mini for practical assignments.
