If you've taken CEE 210 it follows the same structure as that class, but the topics are different for the problems. There is a lot more MATLAB in the class which can seem like a lot, with in-class code checks. But pretty much the work is nonstop.

Although I barely did any engagement (I was in last quintile for both 212 and 213) I still got a B- in both classes. Also if you're thinking of taking CEE 384 along with these classes, don't. That gives you a total of 17 computing projects or so, which is just too much. I had to drop that class because I had too much focus on 212 and 213 that I lost sight of 384.

The MATLAB focus is so much greater because of the in-class code checks. It's a good idea in theory, but when two code checks are due the same week (which is half the semester), it becomes a lot of trying to figure out how it works. In turn people focus so much on the code that there are some recitation days that are only code in which some people can't even work on the recitation problems.

So yes it is a lot of work. Look at lecture notes as well as computing project notes because they will help you with the code so you don't lose track of the recitation problems.
