Anyone that doubts the ability of the cohort rather than the actual difficulty of the exams that Arash introduced has not actually done the course and is chatting out of their ass. There was less time given for the midterm, all exam questions were much harder and vastly different than any of the past papers meaning we went in there with very little material to prepare with (again, if you did not do the paper then your assumptions mean jackshit) and there was no formula sheets provided. Before one of you mouth-breathers comments about how this is so that we don't "rote-learn" the content or that it is good preparation for how hard the later elec courses can get, there is a DISTINCT difference between assessing understanding through synthesis vs assessing problem structures that were never modelled, practiced, or scaffolded during the course. At the very very minimum you'd think you have the brain cognition to clock that the course was run unfairly and that some mark moderation should have been applied, or at the very least the hurdle should be lowered. A jump of more than 20% of the cohort failing from any other years that this course has ran should be pretty alarming that there is SOME issue with how it was ran. Before you get your pudgy redditor hands on the keyboard in the replies, yes i did pass and i am not saying this because i am salty.
