<p>Ok so, When i took EE3 spring quarter, Abidi was a guest lecturer, basically lectured to us about semi-conductors. I was soo confused. And so were my friends. I've read the reviews and the news about how he basically failed most of his class 1-2 years ago. EE10 is being taught by Razavi, who sounds alright according to bruinwalk. (Your opinion?). Problem is, I can't take EE10 because I need to have a Math 33B co req...Is there a way to get around it? Or is that not recommended? I was going to take Math 33A in the fall. But, I don't want to risk being forced to take Abidi.. he just scares me. Not sure if I should buck it up and face it if my luck is really that bad, or try to somehow get around the system if thats possible. </p>

<p>What do you guys recommend? Or think about either professors? My GPA is already pretty low, (almost 3.0) and I'm try to get it up, so I don't think my GPA can take much of a punch right now. Thanks!</p>

<p>This chart is accurate: <a href=“http://i.imgur.com/iUQsY.png[/url]”>http://i.imgur.com/iUQsY.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Math 33B is seriously one of the easiest classes you can take. You can learn pretty much everything yourself, and I doubt that EE 10 would ask you to do anything ridiculous with differential equations. Just sign up for 33B, sign up for EE 10, then drop 33B.</p>

<p>If you’re really concerned, you could even take 33B before or with 33A because it really doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>Is your chart for Razavi or Abidi lol? That looks scary o_o thanks ;]</p>

<p>That’s Abidi</p>

<p>Don’t take Abidi unless you’re forced to take it with him. Avoid him like the plague. He will kill your GPA.</p>

<p>So I just realized that for fall, EE 10’s final and EE1’s final is back to back. That is definitely not a good idea. So should I stick to my original plan of taking EE1, Math 33a, EE m16, and maybe CS33 and risk getting Abidi. Or still try to get EE 10?</p>

<p>Bump? &. If Abidi does happen to teach EE 10 winter quarter, should i just not take him and try again fall afterwards or summer??</p>

<p>I think the main point is to avoid him at all costs unless you must take him (e.g. avoid prolonging time until graduation). However you accomplish that, we cannot know.</p>
