Spring 2024 - Pros: No homework or exams. Only 1 solo midterm project report and 1 final group report and presentation. The two professors (Mark and Daniel) were some of the nicest professors I've had at UCLA and were always willing to help. Cons: The slides aren't all that great and the instructions for the projects are usually unclear and confusing. Lectures are extremely dry and attendance is taken every class. The projects are usually pretty long too, and you'll need a windows PC to run the HydroCalc program. Overall though, not too bad of a class. The final project was quite open-ended and left a lot of room for creativity. Also, the professors brought food to the final presentation day--that was really nice. Workload is quite manageable as long as you have people you can work with in the class.

Spring 2018 - This is a capstone course so it will be unlike the more technical classes you have taken in the past. If you have taken 151 then there will be very little new concepts in this class, just applications and design principles. You'll essentially spend the first half of the class working on a group presentation that incorporates applied design and you'll spend the second half of the class developing a notebook of calculations and simulation results which are basically outlined by Professor Kendall during class. Kendall is very nice and approachable but isn't 100% concrete with expectations for the final notebook; you may be taken aback by how much freedom you have in this class. Generally the discussions for this class are useful because the TA will probably be more explicit about what to do. Make sure to work alongside peers in this class so you know what's going on because it may be easy to get lost. Hypothetically, if you attend class and discussion you probably won't have any outside work for this course, but it's tempting to get lazy in this class since there are no pressing deadlines or exams to study for. A more detailed look at the subject matter would've been nice.
