Winter 2020 - Honestly it’s a tough civil class. The homework is heavy, 2 assignments a week. The group project was ok, just a lot of research. Exams were really hard and took the whole time. Lots and lots of writing. Some of the homework’s has giant PDFs to go through. Also straight scale grading so no curve.

Spring 2025 - This class didn't end up being as bad as I expected, the tests were hard but they graded them extremely generously. As long as you study the slides, hw, and possibly the book you should be good to go. The only problem I have is that this professor doesn't believe in end of quarter curves, so you end up with worse grade distributions than I feel are justified for a tech breadth. Personally, I don't understand why the professor feels the need to do this, but he was good at his job, so I have no real complaints beyond that.
