It was a good class, sets you up for all the other CWR classes you need to take as a civil engineering, Thieke's a good professor. He gives you everything you need. Do the note packet he gives you, helps for the class quizzes. Exam study material is similar to the exam, I got screwed over because I didn't know he provided old exam material and I bombed the first exam. In all honesty though, he sets you up for success in his class just don't be like me and forget to go through all the files he gives.

pretty useful to know the basics for then you can do the subsequent classes

Only pros, he's a good professor. Gets you through the labs fast as well.

Go over the files he sends out and go to office hours
