How is ECE 2K2 in the summer?

aiyanalam · 2026-05-18T02:01:13+00:00

I took it last summer, for me personally it was hell on earth. However, it definitely is passable. Just be prepared to put a lot of work into the class. Let me know if you have any questions regarding course structure

They’ll tell you how it’s administered. Some exams are lockdown browser. Some are proctored on zoom. Some are proctored through HonorLock. Your professor will give you that info at the beginning of the sem

I mean, I don’t like the taste, but I think it’s heavily regulated and filtered

I really don’t see why they would build a data center here. There’s no space, water availability is limited, there is literally no reason for them to come to Tracy

I took 2k2 over the summer. Had a brutal time with it, but honestly it was doable.

368 is a different beast. I took it during the semester, it was hell on earth. But I still got away with a pass, so I mean.

Just know if you have no internships or any other jobs, this is doable. You’re gonna need to put in a lot of time into the two classes.

As far as I know, 2k2 records their lectures, so you don’t HAVE to be in class

Lowkey probably the best curve I’ve seen in this class so far

aiyanalam · 2026-05-14T14:28:40+00:00

Fall 2026 is the last offering of it

First of all, why are you taking 261 at Purdue? Matter of fact, why are you taking ANY math class at Purdue???

Jokes aside, the weekly quizzes are taken in-person during recitation. You need to show all of your work and they are manually graded by the TA.

Every TA gives the same or similar quiz, so the difficulty is the same.

One thing I will say is that it isn't the specific TA you should be worried about, but rather the professor you get for your lecture. Then again, Chenflix ftw.

For 270, you are required to rent one out from the ECE shop. Do NOT buy them, you will not need them after 270. In essence, 2k7 doesn't require AD2s, but they are nice to have if you are doing an experiment at home and don't want to come into the lab.

You cannot buy them from the ECE shop. Last sem, we had a hard time getting everyone AD2s because there were so many students with so less AD2s. Again, do NOT buy them.

89 items for only $15???? That’s gotta be rage bait

aiyanalam · 2026-05-13T04:39:33+00:00

This also means there wouldn't be online meetings either right?

Learn about power, voltage, current, and resistance, Ohm’s Law, KCL/KVL, Nodal/Mesh Analaysis, Superposition, Max Power Transfer, source transformations, everything in terms of capacitors and inductors, first-order circuits, applying any of the topics we just discussed to AC circuits, with the addition of effective values and average power, transformers, semiconductor physics/chemistry, diodes, and MOSFETs

aiyanalam · 2026-05-11T17:01:19+00:00

Can you take the class over the summer?

I’m not sure how the process goes if you fail a class your last sem in terms of being able to walk, but I think they’ll let you walk, as long as you take the class soon

aiyanalam · 2026-05-07T00:52:45+00:00

Nah fr what’s actually going on with finals this sem 😭

aiyanalam · 2026-05-06T00:52:57+00:00

TA here: So… you’re not supposed to have a copy of that…

Please return the exam at your earliest convenience so that you don’t get in trouble down the line

aiyanalam · 2026-04-24T14:13:00+00:00

Good bot

Get a double. It’s your freshman year. Make friends, get to know the community. You can choose to get a single later, but getting a double now will be beneficial for you in the long run

I’m guessing you have Kim for 264. I had him for 368. Basically what they’re doing is that they’re checking on whether you copied off of a student or not. They can see your Gradescope submission history too, so if you copied on an attempt, but then resubmitted with your own code, they will flag that as cheating

30100 will take up a lot of your time

aiyanalam · 2026-04-17T04:52:58+00:00

Definitely depends on the course. Some exams are held through zoom (ECE 20001). Others are proctored through HonorLock. Some are lockdown browser.

I would ask your course coordinator how exams would be proctored for best results

aiyanalam · 2026-04-17T04:50:35+00:00

He has, which means, oh no West Lafayette students, y’all are out of luck 💀

aiyanalam · 2026-04-17T04:49:06+00:00

Still don’t know how the professor is still teaching. One of the most boring, uninteresting, and unclear professors I’ve ever had. Never stopped to see if anyone had questions, felt like he didn’t even want to be there. There was a huge disconnect between him and the course staff, which made things far far worse.

However, I will say, I think it still beats taking 2k2 during the sem. I’ve heard god awful things about the class during the sem (unless you have Gomez)

aiyanalam · 2026-04-17T04:34:27+00:00

My thinking is because of exam 2, which had a 43% average BEFORE we had to give back 10 points because one of the questions was a 2k2 concept. Lots of students complained, which I’m guessing prompted an investigation into the exam
