<p>So I'm planning my spring semester, and I have to choose between Heinemann and Bordel for Physics 8A. I can't find much about Heinemann, and most reviews on Bordel don't seem too enthusiastic. </p>
<p>Can anyone tell me anything about Heinemann? Better or worse lecturer than Bordel? Level of exam difficulty?</p>
<p>i’m having the same dilemma…what do we do??</p>
<p>I had 8A with Heinemann and stopped going to lecture within the first few weeks because I felt like it was a waste of time. She has a very German accent and is just not good at teaching. My GSI was awful too, but I think it all worked out well for me because I didn’t have a false sense of “I went to lecture/section so I should do fine in the class”. I spent a lot of time on the homework trying to understand how to do the tricky/difficult problems. Got an A in the class. </p>
<p>I don’t know much about Bordel, but I don’t think 8A/8B professors are too important and I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>
<p>how were the tests? mastering physics?</p>
<p>Ahh I don’t know which class to take =/ Heinemann is on a Friday afternoon so I’m not sure if I want to do that :P</p>
