CE 2010

The subject is rather boring, but is useful. The class is 75 minutes which is a bit too long, so bring other work to do and sit in the back. The professor is great! The survey lab is pretty fun. Use The Hive for AutoCad and CivilCad.

An easy class if you pay attention and do most of the reading. Make sure to do your assignments and there's no reason not to get a high B or an A in the class. The only problem is you basically have to teach yourself Civil3D, so be prepared to spend lots of hours just clicking buttons.

Smith is a great professor, he knows what he is talking about. The final project is fun but AutoCad gets annoying. The class sometimes gets dull.

Professor Smith is a very solid and compelling professor. He is a great resource! He is also very patient and fair. Excellent instructor! The AutoCAD component of the class is rigorous.

Professor Smith knows a lot about the subject and is a great teacher, even though the course can be challenging at times.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PROFESSOR SMITH!!!

Professor Smith is AWESOME and the class is very practicable. Hands on and always interesting and clearly taught. The homework can be a little difficult once in a while and the final project seems a little scary at first, but it is very manageable and interesting.

Professor Smith is totally awesome. The class can get boring at times, but it was still a great class to be in.

Professor Smith knows whats up. If you do your homework assignments and turn them in on time and you don't start your project last minute you will do fine. You should read but I did minimal reading and did well in the class. So far the best class I have taken at UVA. The 1.25 hours can be rough for lecture but an interesting class with an amazing professor!

Brian Smith is a sweetheart. This was the only section available the semester I took it, and it seems like he’s been teaching this class for a long time. There are weekly assignments about the lecture stuff, as well as weekly AutoCAD assignments. The first 8 or so have step by step videos that you follow, and that’s pretty much it, you don’t need to buy the textbook. The tests are a little difficult because it’s hard to know what to study from the lectures. The semester project is super hard, but if you start early and ask Professor Smith or the TAs they are happy to help. He also had weekly interview type things with Alumni from the civil department, some of whom were already working and some of whom were getting graduate degrees.
