  • One thing I wish I knew going into this course was how harshly they would grade the Lab reports. There are some courses where as long as you submit the report with all questions answered, you get a 90+. There are some courses where you can put 20 hours into perfecting and polishing your report and still end up with a 65. This course is the latter. The midterm average was 62% and our professor commented that it was one of the highest he has seen in a few years. Part of the reason this course sees such low grades is because of how busy the 3A ENVE students tend to be with other courses. Despite having such a low average, the midterm was incredibly fair, but most students only had 5 or so…
