Natasha Andrade ENCE100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 01/08/2024	Dr. Andrade: She is a nice enough teacher, however, since most of the course is guest speakers, I did not get a great read on her. ENCE100: This course is great if you are deciding to major in civil engineering or if you are unclear what civil engineering is and what it entails. You meet once a week and there is a attendance at the end of class. The only other grade is an assignment a week that takes no longer than 30 minutes. Easy class, but since it is only 1 credit, only take it if it is required or you are unsure about civil engineering.
Natasha Andrade ENCE100 Expecting an A+ Buss003 01/06/2024	ENCE100 is very good to introduce you to all the different things you can do as a civil engineer with guest speakers that work in the industry talk to you about what they do. Attendance is mandatory and the 8 homework assignments are super easy. Just show up and do the homework they take like 30 mins so just do them and you will get an A.
Natasha Andrade ENCE100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/01/2023	This class is probably interesting for passionate civil engineers. However, I'm not that passionate and I just slept in every lecture. You don't need to pay attention during class. Assignments are very easy and attendance is mandatory (there is a multiple choice attendance question at the last minute of class). Lectures are on a variety of topics, some more interesting/useful than others. Dr. Andrade seems passionate and knowledgable, but it was mainly guest speakers teaching the class. Easiest A.
Natasha Andrade ENCE100 Anonymous_Entity 04/06/2023	Gonna have to agree with the 3-star review. ENCE 100 was definitely not like a class as literally most of the time was just guest speakers and very few assignments. It was boring for the most part as many people did not seem to have an interest in the speakers. This class will be an easy A if you are in civil!
Natasha Andrade ENCE100 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/22/2021	ENCE100 might as well be a zero credit class. We've had five assignments over the course of the semester and there is no exam or quizzes. Dr. Andrade seems very nice and down-to-earth, but after the second class she had guest lecturers for each class and it got very boring and hard to stay engaged.
Charles Schwartz ENCE100 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/17/2021	I took Charles Schwartz's class during the fall of 2020. There was no final exam, due to the pandemic, but there were two mandatory projects. The professor is very busy, he usually takes weeks to grade an assignment, because it seems like this one-credit course is low on his list of priorities, which makes sense. As the class progressed, requirements were made easier for those students which failed to meet the initial requirements due to procrastination. If you submit every assessment on-time, usually two or three multiple-choice or brief paragraph questions per week, and submit every project on-time, you should ace this course. Just make sure, that you get his approval through email for any project, so you don't waste a trip.
Kaye Brubaker ENCE100 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/19/2019	Easy class (attendance required), friendly prof.
Kaye Brubaker ENCE100 Expecting a B Anonymous 07/15/2012	Brubaker has upped her game. Realizing that this class was never taken seriously, she decided to find a book to use for this class. It is still a fair courseload for a 1 credit class, but there was a final based on all the readings. Each class there was a quiz for attendance based on readings and the lecture. She must have known our names and marked us down if we weren't paying attention, though. I got some bad quiz grades even if I completed it. I'm pretty sure I got A's on the assignments and final, but because of the quizzes and attendance, my grade was brought down to a high B. Take this class seriously, and don't waste your time if you aren't seriously considering civil engineering.
Kaye Brubaker ENCE100 Expecting an A CB 03/24/2011	This is a required course for all civil engineers. Brubaker was nice and helpful. There are two assignments and she takes attendance. It's an easy A, don't stress about it.
Kaye Brubaker ENCE100 Expecting an A+ Xin 12/24/2009	This class is an easy A+. Show up for every lecture, do the two assignments, and final project. She's nice and helpful.
Kaye Brubaker ENCE100 Expecting an A+ freeman1 12/18/2009	Show up, pay attention, don't talk, did i mention don't talk, do the few assignments, and you will get an A. Ended the semester with 105%. Good professor.
Kaye Brubaker ENCE100 Expecting an A joepenn1 05/01/2009	Good teacher for an intro course, Takes attendance so make sure you go to class. The class holds true to a 1 credit class as it should. Even though its a required class for all ENCE majors, you don't need to worry to much about any additional workload. Show up, listen, get a feel for civil engineering, and do the 1 or 2 small assignments she gives you.
Gregory Baecher ENCE100 Expecting an A babygnau 12/09/2008	I was an undecided engineering major as a freshmen and because of randomly taking ence100 I confirmed civil engineering as my major just because of Baecher. The class was incredibly easy but did what it was designed to do: introduce the world of civil engineering for students. This guy is also a genius, he's in charge of many research projects. I don't know what he's like for upper level ence classes but I would try to take him just based off what I saw in ence100.
Gregory Baecher ENCE100 jmartin1 04/23/2008	nice guy. class was easy, and theres a huge curve
