Agree with the other review; however, the midterm was not tricky—it just covered material that we didn't go over in class in-depth enough—I doubt that'll happen again in future quarters. I was fortunate to have had practice in such material enough to get the highest grade, pre-curve. Oh, and by the way, the curve was based on class attendance, so make sure you attend every class; I decided to be lazy one week for attendance and I no longer had the highest midterm grade post-curve :( Still happy about my final grade tho.

Awesome professor, really cool case studies. 10/10 would take again

Pretty easy class. Professor Glassman works at a structural engineering firm and also helps with structural analysis for emergency situations so he brings in a lot of case studies to discuss in class. Those are definitely interesting, my one gripe is the amount of time they take up. He frequently spent more than half the class time on case studies which left little time for the actual course material. That being said, there's not a ton to cover for this course. The midterm was a bit tricky but he curved it, the final was cake walk. Just do your own homework and study a bit and you'll be fine.
