Scale Values:5= Strongly Agree, 4= Agree, 3=Neutral, 2=Disagree, 1=Strongly Disagree.

REFLECTION:

This course is taught by my adviser, Dr. Aboutaha. I took advanced design of concrete structures in Spring 2011, that’s why I was totally into this course as a students as well as a TA. I was designing in-class assignments for recitation classes. Each semester, a project was established in concrete lab for this course. We asked the students to define the maximum load a specific concrete beam can carry. We had started constructing the real beam exactly as the assignment had stated. Four weeks later, we applied the load until beam failure. It was so interesting for students to see if their calculations was right or not. This course was so helpful and of course all had fun. Here is the Gallery of being TA for this course in three semesters.
