CIVL3140 – Catchment Hydraulics: Open Channel Flow & Design 51.6

This is definitely one of the most difficult course that I have encountered in civil engineering. While Hubert Chanson is a good lecturer, he makes a poor tutor and hence many students avoided asking him questions during tutorials. Also, the final exam is set to a very high difficulty standard, with half the exam paper MCQ meaning there will be no marks for working. The course content was interesting nonetheless, just assessed too harshly.
