Reviews
The TAs basically run this class and from what I've been told when I took the course, all the TAs were pretty good, including my own TA. Your only homework in this course is whatever you don't finish in class (also, I highly recommend you double-check your answers with your TA or else chances are you will lose points) and the final group writing assignment. Overall, very easy and pretty fun too with all the field trips we had. The long beach aquarium field trip is probably everyone's favorite one. For premeds out there who need to fulfill your two lab courses requirement, definitely take this one to fulfill one of them.
