Turns a practicum class into a boring, lecture-heavy slog. If this class wasn't required for many engineering majors, I'd say it's infinitely more useful to just learn the program ANSYS ADPL completely on your own. Every homework is done in pairs. Theoretically a very easy class, but extremely boring and way too time-consuming for what it teaches.
