<p>Here’s the EECS courses I’ve taken so far ranked from hardest to easiest (based on my personal experiences, of course):</p>
<p>EE 126
CS 61B
EE 20
EE 40
EE 120
CS 61A
CS 3L</p>
<p>Best experience: EE 20/120 (especially 120)
Worst experience: EE 126</p>
<p>Based on what I’ve heard, the hardest classes are any taught by Hilfinger (notably CS 61B and CS 164), EECS150, and EE 142. EE 141 and CS 162 are also supposed to be pretty tough.</p>
<p>Be sure to form study groups and check out hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu for course surveys and previous exams. If you’re ever struggling, either go to office hours or consider HKN tutoring (free tutoring M-F 11-5 p.m. in 290 Cory and 345 Soda).</p>
