6 Q5 What rumors have you heard about this course? Answ ered: 18 Skipped: 9 # Responses Date 1 difficult. 1/29/2014 8:35 AM 2 Its our first real ChemBE course and is a litmus test for whether we should continue with ChemBE 1/28/2014 9:48 PM 3 I've heard that it's not the most difficult class, but it takes up a lot of time and energy. I've also heard that this is the course to take to figure out if ChemBE is the right major for me or not. 4 I have heard rumors that this class is definitely challenging and it helps to determine whether or not chemical and biomolecular engineering is the major for you and your interests. 1/27/2014 8:46 PM 1/27/2014 6:02 PM 5 None 1/27/2014 2:50 PM 6 That it's not too bad, though the midterm and final were a bit rough. It's enough to make me as a freshman worried about this course, which I expect to be my most difficult this semester, though I'm hoping that because I am passionate about this material, it will be a challenge I will enjoy. 1/27/ :18 AM 7 None. 1/27/ :28 AM 8 I have heard that this course is a pretty fair reflection of one's effort. 1/26/2014 7:46 PM 9 I have heard that this is a difficult class. 1/26/2014 7:38 PM 10 I have heard that it is the first true engineering class I will take. I also hear there is a lot of work. 1/26/2014 6:38 PM 11 Difficult yet simple. 1/26/2014 6:00 PM 12 Extremely demanding. 1/25/2014 1:58 PM 13 None 1/25/2014 1:04 PM 14 Nothing 1/25/ :28 AM 15 By taking this course, I will be able to decide whether I should continue as a ChemBE major. 1/25/2014 6:21 AM 16 Students should use this class to determine whether or not to continue as a ChemBE. 1/24/2014 8:26 PM 17 nothing 1/24/2014 4:47 PM 18 It is the first real chembe course. If you like this course, then you are in the right major. If you don't like this course, then you should switch. 1/24/2014 3:32 PM 6 / 11

11 Q10 What do you think is the greatest challenge facing the world today? Answ ered: 22 Skipped: 5 # Responses Date 1 global warming 1/29/2014 8:35 AM 2 crushing student debt 1/28/2014 9:48 PM 3 Sustainability for energy resources is probably the biggest challenge today. We need to find alternative fuel sources. 4 I think the greatest challenge facing the world today is our dependence on nonrenewable resources such as oil and what is going to happen when we run out. Energy is needed in such great quantities and a sustainable source of energy that is safe and efficient needs to created/discovered to brighten our future. 5 Striving to improve ourselves in the long term with a step by step mentality while accepting large leaps of innovation when applicable. 6 Most problems are very strongly interwoven, so isolating one problem and attempting to solve it would be very difficult. However, the problem that I find the most pressing is the water crisis in the developing world. Without access to clean water, an incredibly large fraction of the human population suffers in very graphic and intolerable ways. 7 Finding renewable, preferably clean, energy. We're depleting our resources so quickly, and we haven't yet developed a strong replacement for our dependance on fossil fuels that can supply the world. 1/27/2014 8:46 PM 1/27/2014 6:02 PM 1/27/2014 4:48 PM 1/27/2014 2:50 PM 1/27/ :18 AM 8 Individualism 1/27/ :28 AM 9 affording education, at any level 1/26/ :50 PM 10 The greatest challenge facing the world today is narcissism. We are living in a generation where we feel the need to post everything about ourselves on public media and we dilute ourselves into thinking that people care so much about us. A lot of physical challenges in the world stems from self-absorption. 1/26/2014 7:46 PM 11 I think world hunger is the greatest challenge. 1/26/2014 7:38 PM 12 The greatest challenge our world faces today is to debate and make well-thoughout decisions as a society that will make the world a better place, regardless of any social stereotype or political affiliation. 1/26/2014 6:38 PM 13 Income inequality 1/26/2014 6:00 PM 14 Transition to renewable energy. 1/25/2014 1:58 PM 15 Lack of access to vaccinations 1/25/2014 1:04 PM 16 Put what you have learnt into the real world 1/25/2014 1:00 PM 17 Short-sightedness 1/25/ :28 AM 18 An inflation in a number of people with engineering degrees. I believe there should be people with both engineering and A&S degree. 1/25/2014 6:21 AM 19 Adversity we face in interpersonal relationships. 1/24/2014 8:26 PM 20 Unsustainable consumption and living patterns that continue to degrade our planet. 1/24/2014 5:21 PM 21 income inequality 1/24/2014 4:47 PM 22 Maintaining food and water security as populations continue to increase. 1/24/2014 3:32 PM 11 / 11
