Questions about CDSS? Another Ed post mentioned that some of the other upper/graduate division EE or physics classes might be prerequisites — this link implies that the recommended prerequisite course is Math 54. Does anyone know if this is a valid prerequisite?
EE221 is probably going to be the prerequisite you want

Textbook used in EE 140? Does anyone know what textbook is usually referenced for EE 140?
We reference these two textbooks: 1. Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits by Razavi 2. Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits by Gray, Paul R., Hurst, Paul J., Lewis, Stephen H., Meyer, Robert G. but the Razavi one is reference more.

Question about CS extension If I only want to take CS 162 next semester, is there a way to just take that class through Berkeley extension? Because I'd feel it would be a waste to pay out of state tuition for one cs class.

Going up spots on waitlist? I've heard of people skipping others on waitlists because they meet the requirements, but I swear I've gone up 1 spot on the 162 waitlist (124->125) and I was wondering how that even happens. Should I expect this to happen again in the future?

Hey, I'm currently in this class. It's a shame not that many people take this course, because 113 is a great class!

Judging by the course description, it seems to cover a lot of topics I'd like to learn more about, but there's not a lot of information online about the class. If you've taken EE 117 recently, how was it? How time consuming are the problem sets/labs? What textbook, if any, is used?
The lectures very closely followed "Fundamentals of Applied Electromagnetics" by F.T. Ulaby. The labs were more like mini-labs and were only two hours long. I think the problem sets would take roughly 5-6 hours a week, but this could vary based on how strong/weak your Physics 7B and Multivariable calc fundamentals are....

From an enrollment policy standpoint you can enroll if the classes are offered over summer session. We do not enforce the enrollment policies then. As Anonymous Magpie has said, whether we offer these classes or not remains to be seen. The summer schedule becomes public in mid-December sometime.

EECS 151 + CS 189 Has anyone taken 151 + 151L + 189 together? How’s the difficulty and workload? I know that the EECS website says not to take these two classes together, but I’ve taken 127, 188, and 182 which I think will make 189 a lot easier.

151 is not too bad tbh. The actual class/lecture is 3 units, and while it is significant work, I could see it being less than a 4 unit CS class. Lab isn't too bad and often can be completed during the time, the main time sink there is the final project. The class having a final project and final exam can be a bit much,...

I don't have much to say about CS 189 (I have not taken it), but the spring offering (Shewchuk) of CS 189 is usually more applied than the fall offering (Listgarten/Malik/Sahai).

CS61B Hi, I'm planning to take CS61B next semester and my enrollment time is coming up quite soon. I just want to know in advance if we select DIS99 and LAB99 for now or do we need to decide on the specific sections right now? Thanks so much!
everyone chooses the 999 sections during enrollment. and then typically, you can attend any discussion/lab section you want

CS 70 size decrease Why has CS 70's seats decreased so much from FA23 to SP24? Should I (as a freshman who plans to take 70 in FA24) expect a low number of seats next fall?
if you read #2360 and the class notes for the class, that should answer your question. don't know who's teaching it FA24, but if the instructor instills similar policies, then maybe there will be a cap at room capacity as well. otherwise, it will be like every other semester.

Since you were admitted as High Demand CS, that seat will not be taken away from you if you declare another major first. You should be aware of how declaring something else will impact your enrollment priority, however: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lOLj0gJa7QcA_QL6D3lXmwk_lvF41JcapbcEu_Tduvg/edit#heading=h.bjlbk...

Will CS70 expand? 138/400 on waitlist (should i pick another class) It says enrollment will not expand room capacity, which is 481. I am currently 138/400 on the waitlist. It seems like for a spring semester 70 class, only having 481 seats is very little. Is there any hope for me to get into the class despite it saying...
I think because the professor is pushing for in-person lecture attendance (since I think there are no recorded lectures) they might not initially be willing to expand. Having said that, I don't think it's super unlikely to get off at 138 on the waitlist -- since a lot of people do drop the class (and also drop from the...

How many people get off the cs161 waitlist? I'm trying to enroll in 161 but the class is almost full. I want to join the waitlist but I'm worried if I do and I don't get off the waitlist, I won't be able to enroll in what I want since it would take a spot on my phase 1 enrollment unit limit. Should I risk it?

170 161 188 I usually take 2 techs per semester but wanted to try these 3 (170 161 188). Was wondering if this was a good idea and if anyone could give some feedback on the class difficulty / workload
From what I heard, 188 is low workload on average, with peaks around exams. Personally, I took 170 and 161 with relatively low workload from other classes, and found these to be way more enjoyable if you can spend more time on them. Especially 170... it is a very rewarding class!

If you liked 56, you could take 110. Alternatively, you could take CS 70, which is a math course.

I highly recommend 53. It will be helpful if you decide to take CS189 / CS182 in the future. Also I think this class teaches pretty useful concepts by itself

I would say 70 isn’t workload but more of how fast you can grasp concepts. If it takes you longer to fully understand a concept, then you’re going to spend more time on the course. It also depends person to person.

I think the simple answer is that all of the faculty in this area are called to teach other courses (e.g., EE 120, EE 122, EE 123, EECS 126, EECS 127, EE C128, CS 189, etc.), some of which are more popular than others.

CS Minor Requirement Question Hi, I am scheduled to take EECS 151 and EECS 151LB next semester. I had to register for them individually, and they have two different course IDs--does this mean they count as two separate upper division courses for the purpose of the 3 upper div minor requirement?
Unfortunately not. This class is unique in that you register for the lecture and then choose the lab separately since one is more CS-focused and the other is EE-focused. The lecture is 3 units, but the lab is 2 units so when taken together this will only count toward 1 CS minor requirement since classes need to be at l...

Wouldn't recommend it unless you've had a good experience learning circuits/physics in the past or plan to teach yourself very thoroughly. I can say from experience that having a strong linear algebra background is not helpful at all in 105.
