<p>Has anyone taken Physics 4BL with Stenzel ? Are the labs with Stenzel individual or group and hows the work load/grading? I think I might drop either this or MAE 105A, depending on class difficulty/grading.</p>
<p>Yes, I had Prof. Stenzel for Physics 4BL. However, the professor assigned to a given laboratory course such as Physics 4BL is irrelevant; he/she doesn't do any teaching. Instead, he/she coordinates the TAs that lead each laboratory section; you'll likely never see Prof. Stenzel in person unless you go to his office hours. The labs are usually performed in groups of two/three, with each group assigned to a workstation with its own computer, oscilloscope, AC/DC waveform generator, etc. The difficulty of Physics 4BL is very high because of recent curriculum revisions. You'll likely be unable to finish all of the last three labs in the allotted three hours due to the fact that they involve multiple time-consuming experiments... :rolleyes:</p>
