Educational-Asswhooping

Probably around half of the (once) Computer Science majors (of any type) at the University of Texas at Arlington change majors. Almost all of them change it in their sophomore year because of one of two courses:

CSE 2340 - Introduction to Digital Logic
or
CSE 2441 - Digital Logic

The courses are nearly identical in that they are designed to teach the functionality, theory, and execution of circuit design. The only difference is that, in the latter, students are required to physically piece together the circuit. The only professor that teaches 2340 is the only professor that teaches 2441: Kearny.

His test averages are probably the lowest in the university, his drop rate is around 40%, and the failure rate is somewhere around 40% (which means that ~9 students of 25 will pass on average).

I've heard he does grade adjustment at the end of the course. By "the end of the course" I mean the day before grades are due. So, if you want to know how you're doing and what your final grade might be, you're shit out of luck.

I'm in 2340 because I'm a Software Engineering major (thus, I don't have to wire shit).

I just got out of our first midterm... I have never started more stupidly at 12 some-odd pieces of paper wondering what to do. I'm hoping for something in the 40s.

On a good note, though, when I left the class, I asked one of the other students (whom I consider to be somewhat above the class average) how he think he did and he said he thought he had, and I quote, "a snowball's chance in hell" of a 20.
