Took him for thermo one summer and he seemed proud when he told us he had failed 2/3 of a class before... along with that shite eating grin he always has

No, but I have Phuc Dat Bich for women's studies.

Oh I hate Harris Wang with a passion. Had him for Fluids. I either got a perfect 100 on a test or a 60. There was no in between with that guy. I remember one test there were 2 problems. On the first one, I made a mistake about two steps into the first problem. Everything before and after was correct. He carried the mistake through the entire problem. So using the wrong factor once made him take 40 points off even though every other part of the question was answered correctly. Got the second problem right. One single mistake gets you a D.
Plus he was one of the worst lecturers ever.
After reading the rest of the thread it truly surprises me anyone has anything good to say about the guy. Everyone in my class didn't care for him. And I'm not one to shy away from a tough teacher. Gonthier was my thermo teacher and I think that was the best class I ever took.

Is Dr. Charalampopoulos still there? I took him for ME 3333 and he was awesome. He tonight the material really well and was fair. Lots of people still bombed it, but there's no way that was his fault; they must not have put any effort into learning before exams. I put some effort into the class and made an A, and I'm far from one of those people who aces everything.

I don't live in LA. Didn't go to LSU. And I am not an engineer. Even I know Wong doesn't curve just from the yearly Wong threads.

WTF is this shite? If a good bit of the class is failing, then a good bit of the class fails the class.
You know what LIFE doesn't do? Grade on a curve. You either make it or you don't. Expecting a curve simply because you have a class full of lazy people and/or dumbasses is bullshite.
It sounds like maybe you are trying to get a degree in something you aren't suited for. Judging by your writing/grammar skills, I wouldn't switch your major to English either.

Well, no shite. "One single mistake" in engineering makes buildings fall down, levees and bridges fail, etc.
"But 7 of the 21 floors of the building are still standing. Shouldn't I get credit for that? Waaaaaaaaaahhhh. I only made one mistake."

Thank goodness this guy showed up.
You probably also have "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" cocked and loaded just waiting for an opportunity to blast it out.

It's not always that simple. Sometimes the teacher's expectations exceed the student's ability.

Nah, I hate that phrase. I hate it almost as much as people who expect the standard to be lowered to meet their performance. The standard is 70%, they only make 60% for whatever reason (laziness, ineptitude, etc) and they still believe they should pass. It defies logic, but that's what this generation seems to be aces at.
But in all honesty, let them grow up to be a bunch of weak arse pansies. It'll make it easier for the rest of us if/when things ever get hard. They'll flounder and fall to the wayside...less competition for everyone else.

If it exceeds the student's ability, then the student fails and tries something more appropriate for their ability. Not everyone gets to be an astronaut.
FFS, what is the deal with this "lower the standard to meet the student's performance" nonsense that seems to have permeated society these days?

kilo,
What engineering degree do you have?
What was your GPA?
And did you go through Gonthier?

First off, you are quoting things that Civil Engineers work on. I'm not referring to special ed engineering. This is mechanical.
Next, how many engineers sign off on a design that they only had an hour and a half to work on and review? Do you think that every engineer that gets a C or better should have a perfect score on every single exam they have taken? We are talking about a mistake where I took the centroid of a triangle as h/2 instead of h/3 due to a mental error and you think a student deserves a D on that test? frick their understanding of all other fluid dynamics, they messed up on some geometry when given 90 minutes to finish two problems that would normally take you 2+ hours. I had two other exams before the final in that class that I got a perfect score on. Not like I didn't understand the material.
I've had VERY tough teachers. Ones that gave no slack for something that was done incorrectly. I've never had one carry an error throughout the problem if the logic behind the steps was done correctly. Why even show your work if all that matters is the final answer being correct?

I took thermo back in 2012, but I had Sai and he was fairly reasonable. I don't recall him curving either, but at the end of the semester he'd give you a chance to turn in all of your homework for full credit

Is that you Harry?
OP, I think you can address your questions to kilo aka Harry Wong. He's on to you
Edited to add video clip of what might be kilo. Life is hard, shouldn't everything else be harder?

You do realize people spend their entire careers studying one subject that most engineering students must become proficient at in ~4 months, right?
If it exceeds the student's ability, then the student fails and tries something more appropriate for their ability. Not everyone gets to be an astronaut.
And also, you can fail and still have the ability. Not everyone is perfect the first time around. Some of them fail 14 times (even with Masters in Aerospace Engineering)- Eductate Yourself
