ENAE324 Expecting an A- Anonymous 05/24/2022 |
This class was relatively straightforward and a continuation of ENES220. The most significant difference between the two was the application of differential equations and the more advanced theories discussed in this class. Dr. Bauchau presented the information for this class in a confusing way, and his book, which he used as a resource, was the same way. Going to class and completing the homework and practice problems will give a sufficient understanding. The class also had a significant curve at the end, with the ELMS grade of C+ turning into an A- for the final grade. |

Dr. Bauchau's lectures, homework, and exams are all presented a bit oddly. The course jumps around from lecture to lecture, and Bauchau will often repeat himself, go off on tangents, and answer questions with more theory than practical answers, leaving students to muddle through solving the problems he writes. His book is almost as confusing, with the solution process often missing important steps for students who haven't studied the topic before. Most of the exam questions are written in a confusing description of a simple scenario, and will at times address topics that aren't well discussed in the books or in class. This isn't bad in itself, except the lack of and concrete procedure for solving any problems results in an inferior comprehension of the class. Once you figure out how to learn this content yourself, it isn't a bad class and Bauchau isn't a bad teacher, but he certainly wouldn't be my first choice of professor for this class with an option. |
