  • Pretty easy course, but the alternative assignment for design days for non-CIVE students was not provided in a reasonable time and the prof was unaccommodating. The class was pretty long, but easy to get though with just reviewing a little before the quizzes. Assignments were also fair.

  • The course was more about calculations than theory. The concepts were very interesting and applicable to the real world. Midterm average was 89. Everyone got destroyed on the final exam.

“Is it possible to pass civil engineering with minimum effort during the next two years to finish the degree.”

u/colaroga: “In the same boat, I'm barely putting any effort to do my CIVE assignments and quizzes in 3B right now - my GPA is pretty darn low so I just want to finish uni and have a real job. …”

u/colaroga: “Actually, not really - CIVE241 covers the basics of everything transport related (not sure if you're taking it this 2A term?) including airports, geometric design, capacity and traffic analysis, and pavement design in a generic sense which sort of branches off into upper year …”

u/pootiscannibal: “CIVE204 Solid Mechanics 1 CIVE221 Advanced Calculus CIVE224 Probability & Statistics CIVE241 Transportation Principles & Applications CIVE265 Structures & Properties of Materials &x200B; Also what happens during the seminar is it more dumb co-op stuff (CIVE298)?”

u/danishclarinets: “… CIVE241 with Baaj: Not bad for difficulty, also in my opinion the most interesting out of the five. Tests were quite fair. CIVE265 with Walbridge: This course covers a lot of different topics so the course feels kind of random and disjointed. …”
