At the end of the semester, the Stengels had us all over for dinner at their home. The workload is not enormous. As I recall, we had three or four papers last year. Definitely a very workable load. Grading is somewhere between fair and generous for the most part.
Emphasis is placed on the final paper.
This was a two day trip over the spring break. It was a lot of fun. We got to see all the launch sites, bunkers, and rocket displays they had there. Definitely a major plus point to this otherwise fascinating course. Well, that about covers everything.
