The worst nightmare ever at UCLA

To be honest, EEM16 was a hilariously bad class. The homeworks were very difficult and the midterms were too, but the content of the class and the pre lecture videos had little to no overlap. His lectures are not very useful and he often goes off on long tangents. Avoid this professor if you cab

Test difficulty: A student had a mental breakdown in his final.
Project difficulty: I am now completely allergic to Verilog.
Recommend: no, emphasize on no

Mehta has a knack for complicating things that are simple. From his homework to his tests to his labs, it was very hard to make sense of anything. His examples during lecture don't make very much sense, and he doesn't give us any resources to adapt to his question-making style. This class was the most painful and time-consuming class I've taken at UCLA.

The dictionary definition of a SCUMBAG. Sky high expectations, little to no guidance or at least clarifications of instructions, time-consuming assignments, boring lectures. And don't even get me started on the tests...his final physically, LITERALLY PHYSICALLY, broke a student. And guess what? He didn't give two DAMN shits, life moved on for him just like that. Avoid like AIDS. This man, or the SHELL of a man, should NEVER be allowed near students ever again. Ever since the presidential election, I never thought I would hate a professor as much as I hate Donald Trump I guess I've been proven wrong. Shame on you EE department for the way you clowns hire professors! You guys are like the GOP right now: no balls, no shame, bad judgment!!!

Don't take this class. You will waste your time and lower your GPA.

Professor overly complicates concepts and gives ridiculous exams. The median on the first midterm was about a 25%. The final was so hard that one student got a seizure and paramedics had to come in.

Advice: Either take CS M51A or wait another quarter. I wish someone had told me this before I took his class.

This class made me hate electrical engineering along with that Verilog thing, this class was the motivation to change my major. I would rather take the actual MIT 6004 and have some super tough exams but not this class because I was misled, I thought I was really not gonna need the textbook, I would have been better off if I hadn't listened to him and just read the textbook instead of going to his classes.

the projects were really time consuming and difficult, but ultimately really satisfying and i left the class feeling like i truly learned the material. the final was ridiculously difficult tho, a kid literally was taken out by paramedics and we just kept going like nothing happened.
pretty interesting lectures as well imo, although he sometimes goes on tangents. he goes on tangents in office hours as well. he's extremely knowledgable about the entire process from manufacturing circuits to engineering design.
if you want a challenge and something interesting, i would recommend him.
