  • Took this course as a CE student and really enjoyed it. Read the course notes and you'll be fine. Don't try to understand why the physics does what it does, just follow the math and you'll see that is has to work.

  • Course was easy and the exam questions were from the assignment/lecture. Make sure to memorize those

  • FUN if you are into it otherwise its kinda hard. make sure you can do the assignment work and go to the lectures and the exams are very fair.

  • Great course, very interesting. Assignments are VERY useful - if you do the assignments, you don't have to study for the midterm/final.
