Fall 2024 - This isnt really like your other class, as there isnt really any lectures or exams just your senior year project. The biggest thing that matters is what project you select at the beginning. This year there was a lot of CS/Coding based projects and alot of poeple who didnt want to do CS stuff. At the beginning of the class you rank different projects and the way it worked this quarter was that people who were solo got priority over people who wanted to be with others. This resulted in people who were in groups to get screwed over (they got their lowest rank project) since pretty much majority of people went solo. I suggest that if this is the method for next year, to go solo so you get projects you are more interested in. Additionally in my own opinion in BE department we are not that proficient in CS to be doing fully CS projects so if possible they should cut down on those as well. The class had multiple reports and biweekly presentations so you dont need to be present in the class every day but some days are "lectures" where they will be taking roll (however most people would just leave after signing the Sign In sheet). These lectures are just mostly updates and directions by the professor. There isnt much to say about this class as the exact detail depends on your specific project, TA, and team members that you have.
