This was the easiest lab class ever. It’s a computer lab class. Attending lectures is neither required nor important. Lab attendance is required, however most people left early every lab. Most of the work in this class can be done in lab. The project in lab is analyzing one segment of a gene for the entire quarter. The whole grade is based on attendance, presenting findings throughout the quarter, completing parts of the final paper for the project throughout the quarter, and the complete final paper at the end. The TAs grade everything so it’s very chill. There are no tests in this class.

Class is focused entirely on the presentation and research paper you present on. Throughout the quarter, you will write and refine your research paper about a genome of a certain species. Probably the easiest lab requirement for MCDB majors.
