Do yourself a favor and take a class with Hamel. She is easily one of the best professors in the Engineering Department. She is super understanding, does a great job addressing and answering student's questions, and overall has great lectures. Has a unique grading system, but it is clearly explained and is very fair.

Amazing teacher, made a hard class seem like any engr class. Conceptual fluency is still really stupid though, not sure why it still exists. Because of this, some exam attempts were SIGNIFICANTLY harder than others. I got around a B-A on each of my high scores, but for MT3 attempt 2 our section got unlucky and the test dropped my final grade 10%.

Catherine Hamel is by far one of the best engineering teachers because she really understands and connects to students while at the same time knows what she is talking about. If you are taking ENES100, try to get into her class, you won't regret it.
