Reviews

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A-

    I really liked the experiments we did in lab for this class. My one complaint is the grading scheme, and that there is no late work accepted. I know people who had complicated circumstances for one of the pre-lab or post-lab assignments, and there wasn't any slack given by the TA or the professor. Also, there is no such thing as "dropping your lowest lab" so one bad grade on a lab would really affect your final grade. Definitely just make sure to do all of your labs carefully to not get many points get taken off! Grading is much harsher than in 14BL.
