ECE 257B Course info

We will be using a class Piazza forum to conduct all discussions about course materials, answer questions about homework and post announcements outside of the scheduled lectures and office hours. Please sign up at http://piazza.com/ucsd/winter2024/ece257b. Code: Shannon.

Lectures

Venue: Lecture: Mon/Wed 5:00-6:20pm at Centre Hall Room no. 218. Zoom

Format

This year, we are planning to have a flipped class format where the students are required to watch the pre-recorded video prior to the real-time lecture. This allows the student to understand the concepts better and use the real-time lecture to clarify the doubts.
There will be a reading quiz posted before every lecture. Each student should subscribe for a lecture to scribe. The deadline for the scribe is one week after the lecture is held.
