Besides the fact that this class was at 8 AM, I have no complaints. Her slides are helpful and relevant to homework sets and exams. She is approachable and easy to ask questions in class as she ensures everyone understands the material before moving on. The exams were not that bad. I studied the night before and easily got B's on all the exams. I was expecting a B in the class until the final where if you did better on questions from a certain unit she would replace one of the midterms which bumped me to an A-. (From around an 84% to 90) |

This class was hard at times (especially at 8 AM), but Dr. Brubaker made it so you were engaged and absorbing as much information as possible. She attempted to answer every question asked during class and made herself available multiple times a week if you needed any extra help with problem sets. These homework assignments, despite being frequent, made me understand the material better and mirrored the exam material well. The three midterms given during the semester were a little difficult, but fair. She gives partial credit if you manage to write down your thought process for a question (just shows that you understood something about the problem). You could even make up the score on one of your midterms with the final exam (if you did well enough)! |

The class was difficult, but the lectures were very engaging and she did here best to answer any and all questions. Very friendly. Exams were hard but fair, she posted plenty of study materials beforehand. She also gave out problem sets/homework assignments that were due every other day. Lots of people didn't like them but I thought they really helped me understand the material and prepared me for the exams |

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. |

Very sweet lady. She has a very mother like approach to her teaching, she doesn't like going forward if anyone is stuck. |

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. |

The tests were pretty tricky. Make sure you go to class, pay attention, and take notes. Try to really have a good understanding of whats going on, don't just click along. Do all homework! I would say this was a pretty intense class for this course, but she doesn't make it seem that way in the beginning... but don't be fooled. |

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. |

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. |
