Fall 2024 - This is a great class! It was certainly challenging, but Jackson is a great professor and organizes everything in the class super well. The homeworks are very straightforward (helpful if you can find old solutions). There is a group project, which consists of a sizable amount of work and is broken up into 5 different increments. The exams are difficult but open-note, and there is also a curve. Overall, I would definitely recommend this class, as long as you put in the work for it and get a good project group. Also, you'll need to AISC steel manual so try to borrow it from someone if you don't want to pay like $200 for a new one.

Fall 2018 - I took this dude course fall. First of all, there nothing new on his lecture. Everything in his slides . He just read them to you. Secondary which is major problem. This design course has to be learn from his mouth. It means you need keeping asking questions. Especially project. He has his own evaluation on how you learn. Lots of project content not from textbook or lecture. But the problem is that he doesn’t want you to waste his time. So you better to ask good question otherwise no answer. The project has 5 increments 4 people a group very time consuming. TA is useless in this class, cause they won’t answer your question which was the strickly order from him. Midterm is easy but I was screwed by them. The final was really hard. Last thing he appeal to friendly, he was not. If you have to take it , then take it and prepare your grade drop a lot, otherwise choose other design course
