What?

Really? Who with?

not because its hard (too early to tell) but because it just seems shittin' ass retarded

and its with Vijay Subramanian (at least i think thats how its spelled) I was supposed to have Tayebali (from what i've heard i'm glad they changed the teach though)

Tayebali was my teacher. I learned a lot with him and he was reasonable about tests. He just wasn't a pushover of a teacher.

I've never heard of Vijay Subramian, that sounds like a grad student's name. If it is, you'd probably rather have learned the course material from Tayebali, haha.

CE214 is just one of the civil engineering weed-out courses. I thought it wasn't that bad when I took it years ago.

my girl had it last year and did well in it so i should be ok if i need help

but looking at the work she was doing it seemed pretty straightforward, reminded me a lot of physics 205/8

so i'm hoping to use it to bring my gpa up during what i hope will be my last semester at state

if you cant pass this easy class you need to drop out of school

^^ did you even read the thread, or did you just come in here to attack

don't really care either way, just wondering

^ pretty much

I actually enjoyed Statics... and Dynamics. So much I kept the book even after changing majors.

Can't remember who I had, but all the projects and creative questions kept it interesting. Final exam was calculate the forces on nail clippers

actually its a bit more complex than that, as i left out an equation. here's the 4th:

SumFz=0

i snoozed through ME statics

1/13/2010 9:23:02 PM

^that's because ME statics is made to be easy.

CE statics can be a bitch of a course

1/13/2010 9:33:30 PM

it really depends on the teacher

did you take ME statics?

1/13/2010 9:34:07 PM

i took statics as an EE and it was really simple. it was boring though.... I will give you that.


good luck!!

here's a hint, dude: SET EVERYTHING TO FUCKING ZERO. it's statics.

1/13/2010 10:16:14 PM

it always depends on the teacher... but it just ends up being lots of writing.. looking back it was easy.
