bullshite.
I took it probably in 04-05. The class is difficult from the perspective that there is not a lot of time when taking the exam, homework took time, and it's one of the first engineering classes. But it was not that hard. It's freaking algebra and trig with the tiniest bit of calc that you can get around by memorizing formulas. The tests were literally identical to examples given as homework. And when they gave us one that wasn't (used a trig identity we should all have known, but never had a homework that used it), they let us retake the exam.
But to say the class failed 2/3 of the students is laughable. I don't know a single person who failed. Thermo, Fluids.....yeah, tons failed. Statics was enough to make people say "this isnt going to be easy", but that's about it.

The curriculum itself wasn't hard, but if you didn't do the 15-20hrs of homework a week you didn't stand a chance come test time. The amount of test time and number of problems we're specifically geared for those who actually spent time practicing the problems.

Took it in 15'. Still the same way. Time is the biggest obstacle for the test. The SI sessions made the class much easier. Made it out with a B

first time i took statics, i was like wtf. Second time I couldnt understand why i thought it was hard in the first place. difference was I did all of the homework plus some the second time.
with fluids I was thought the first test was stupid hard, made a 30. After that, I buckled down and did all the practice problems and didn't make below a 94 on any test after that.
Point is, if you put in the time, you will be fine.
now thermo...frick that shite, its just plain fricking hard.
