90% of your grade comes from the CSWA exam at the end of the class. There is much better 1-on-1 TA and professor help in this class than in regular Design 1. Also, my entire CSWA was made up of homework parts which was super helpful when it came to the exam.

There are 3-4 Solidworks parts due every week, 1 final project that is just whatever you want to make, and the CSWA at the end of the year.

He goes fast but will also do the entire homework problem on the board for you if you ask. Super smart and good at Solidworks. Can be intimidating at first but nice once you get to know him.

(as a current TA for this class: this class is a great opportunity to hone your Solidworks skills, get some personalized help, and get your certification)
