Elec Eng 3PI4
As we're writing the final within the next hour, I am astonished that the professor seems to think we are able to solve all the problems without a cheat sheet. I mean, I think this is quite amusing.

Yeah, the course is mostly straightforward but the time and energy I had to put into this is much more than what I put into other courses. In order to be very comfortable with the problem sets, you got to spend hours upon hours reciting similar problems so you can recall which formula you can use. Simply put, time is a luxury we don't have.

Does anyone else feel this way too? I honestly feel this is at par with 3EJ4 in terms of being comfortable with the material and we all know 3EJ4 is a freaking nightmare.

Lastly, I smell a bell curve.

*edit*
Oh and best of luck to those who are writing it!

It wasn't THAT bad. Definitely not a smooth ride, but pretty straightforward. The last chunk of the course is the same stuff, same concepts with a slight twist. First chunk is review from 2nd year (and pretty basic at that). Cheat sheet would have been nice, or at least an equations sheet provided by Chen with barebones equations that allow us to derive others.

I'm pissed that we don't have the grades for labs 3+4 online yet.
