    Quarter Taken: Spring 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Physics 4AL/4BL are mainly handled by your TA so your experience depends heavily on how your TA is. Shashank was AMAZING as my TA as he was very knowledgeable about Arduino/Python, patient with us when going through our lab work, and presented and explained slides clearly. I don't remember a single day when I didn't understand what we were doing because his explanations at the start of each class were so clear.

    Aside from my stellar TA, I do think the coursework for this class is way more than the 2 units it puts on your transcript.
