ENCE412 Expecting a B Anonymous 10/21/2025 |
412 is a hard class. Assignment's are graded fairly but Dr Davis is very strict and grades for accuracy when it comes to homework and quizes. Exams were kinda brutal and are gonna require a big chunk of time to study. However despite all this, he is a great professor and explains topics very well. The information in this class translates well to problems in the real world and if you plan on taking the FE, the content in the class will show up again. Dr. Davis also usually likes a video recording presentation so be prepared to do that at some point in his class. |

Dr. Davis is a tough professor, but very fair and very knowledgable. Things are generally explained pretty clearly with examples and his lectures are straightforward. The syllabus lays everything out, including all the assignments and their value, and he will stick to this. He told us from the beginning that the pass cutoff would be no higher than 55%, so 55% of points would guarantee a pass. Therefore there is a decent curve so do not panic if your grade is a bit low, especially on exams- they are tough but other parts of your grade will bring it up. The only problem I had with this class was that due to it being open book, oftentimes we needed to look up values from a chart, but this would not be specified, so it could be unclear when to assume and when you had to hunt through the book to find some chart. However, I believe his tests are only open book due to being online for COVID, so this would probably not be a problem in a normal semester and charts would be provided. I would also say it's very important to go to class and focus on lecture. The book is not great and doesn't follow exactly what he says, so without the equations and examples he gives out in class you will likely be lost. |

Alan Davis is a rather tough professor. He is incredibly knowledgeable but sometimes holds students to higher standards because of this. The example problems he does are helpful but he only does one example for each type of question. Often on the exams questions would be modified from the practice version, but no one would know how to solve it the new way. Davis breezes through complicated stuff too quickly, however, that might be attributed to the fact that ENCE 215 has way too much material to cover. You should learn a decent amount but your GPA might suffer. |
