Chen, Xi
[E3113] Mechanics of Solids

Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.

His tests are really annoying. In addition to the problems found in all engineering tests, he adds multiple choice bullshit that cost me my grade.

Class is like any engineering. You can teach yourself, but go if you feel it helps you.

I didn't like the book much. Oh well, it was good enough to learn what i needed, it just took longer than it could have.

The final was the only adequate test in the class. He gave you 15 questions a few weeks before, and took 4 questions from those 15 and that was the final.

Workload:

weekly hws, final, and 2 midterms.
