I love learning outcomes so far in the course. I think testing students over and over again is a good way to measure understanding, especially in Engineering courses.

This is so much better than what those dumb statics professor does to test students. I heard Mechanics of Materials does one and done exam too. I don't think that gets people to realize their mistakes too well. This is such a unique way of learning and takes away the pressure of failing.

I did not expect almost everyone to get 60s and 50s. Jeff Holley really let everyone down. The exam was a lot harder than the home-works I felt like and I somehow did enough to pass the exam (80). Almost like if you wrote the exam nothing like the hw and give us not enough time everyone will fail.

I took both the physics one and Statics exams this week. Why are these classes so bad at structuring the exams and teaching us?

How is Design Engineering for someone who does not want to do "core" engineering like Mech E, Electrical etc? Thoroughly not interested in Computer Science. Is this a course to get a good Engineering base and build entrepreneurial skills?

A lot of "Desgin Engineering" specific posts here are a few years old. Just wanted to see how this branch has evolved over the years and the current state.

Thanks.

EENG386A I was given an equations sheet but that's pretty much it. Is this the equation sheet we will be provided on the test? Are we allowed to bring our own? Should I memorize this equation sheet? 50 minutes for an exam in a class where the homework takes me 5+ hours so I'm pretty scared.

I thumbs down reacted a guy who was spamming one time, and they immediately permanently banned me from the chat with no warning and are requiring me to donate $10 to blasters basket to get back in.

I dont mind the idea of requiring someone to donate to charity to get reinstated, but they never even warned me and requiring it to be on behalf of hungry ordiggers seems a little much. I also didnt even do anything warranting a permaban no matter how you look at it.

I only ever used the gc to find free energy drinks anyway so idrc if i get reinstated, but im still kinda salty about what i was banned over.

To reiderate: i thumbs down reacted a singular message and they permabanned me. that was the only way ive ever interacted with the chat other then viewing messages.
