Chris was on sabbatical and a TA taught the course. The first half was messy and had no idea what was going on. Moving forward to four step model, the concepts are pretty straight forward.

If you were to fail a 3A course, it would be this one. And it would be no one's fault but the professor. There's nothing he likes to talk about more than himself. That combined with the messy slides, messy notes... you really have to learn bachmannese to try to figure out what he's saying. Worst part is he'll blame you all for the three consecutive 50% average tests

Bachmann is a fantastic professor and keeps the class very interesting and engaging. The first part of the course gets very confusing but never terribly difficult.

u/colaroga: “Reee in high school we only lost 10% for each day of lateness”
u/colaroga: “Right now in my uni courses it's 15-50% daily late penalty, or automatic zero in the case of CIVE341. Gotta prepare for real world deliverables somehow!”

“I have a cough, sore throat, do I have corona 😱”
u/colaroga: “… been concerned that I was attending class (as profs don't post lecture notes online for cive303 and 341). If you have mucus in your nose and your lungs don't feel like you're drowning it's just a common cold like I had. …”
