Just finished with my structures midterm. It was surpringly straightforward, as long as one remembered all the steps to take. The teacher didn't help, although he tried to give us clarifying remarks on the test questions, although most of what it did was illuminte vital peices that people had missed, and thus set a lot of people back a long way. It was basically everything he'd showed us how to do, but just a lot of steps and each sequential step relied back on what you got for the original step, and most of the problems were actaully several problems as you had to figure out (for instance) the reaction of an unnamed girder coming into the girder you were trying to figure out because it was going to contribute a point load. The last three problems took me about ten minutes, and the first three took more than an hour. Anyway, no I can focus on all the studio junk our professor wants us to do (more research ) on top of the models he wants for wednesday. Oh, that and the paper I have due tuesday.
