Reviews of professor Rebecca Rashkin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Rebecca is a great professor, but I feel like she did not explain assembly language well enough before programming assignments were due and therefore made the assignments difficult. Midterm and Final were difficult but fair and there is a lot of content to go over in the quarter. Don't fall behind on lecture or labs and the class is not that bad.

Rebecca was great when I took her for CMPE12 this winter 2019. Labs are extremely time consuming, so make sure you get started early on that. On top of that, go to lab, even if it isn't required on your day, to get help on your labs. Both the midterm and final were very fair. Whatever effort you put in to the class is what you'll get back.

If you know how to program it should be easy. Don't take this as your first programming class

Lectures are webcast; grading criteria is clear from the start with the syllabus; A 72 hour grace period is given for late lab assignments; notes are guided as they are printed out and followed along with through class; labs are actually not that difficult conceptually if you pay attention to the lectures, but they do require much time to complete.

She is one of the easiest professor in the BSoE! All the lab assignments are doable within few days and exams are easy as long as you attend to her lecture and pay attention. It's really not that difficult; just show up, study, and do the assignments. It's that simple.

I took this course with Rebecca in Winter quarter. She's honestly one of the nicest and best professors I've had at UCSC and I'm glad to have had her. From lecture notes that cover all the core concepts, to lab tutors and TAs ready to help throughout the quarter. Great professor who provides you with a lot of resources so you can succeed at UCSC

Rebecca was a really good teacher, and I thought did as well as she could have done with a class this size. Do the extra credit, follow directions, read the lab manuals, and put in the work, especially on the last two labs. Labs take a lot of time, but Rebecca makes it very possible to get an A with extra credit. She's also a good lecturer.
