Fall 2023 - 109L was a super fun class! It is completely TA led though, so the TA you get is really important. It consists of 4 field trips, with only 1 of them providing transportation. For the other 3 it's easy to get to the spots via the bus though. The field trips are super fun and engaging, and you often don't have to stay the whole time if you get your assignment done early. Each week there is only 1 assignment that goes over the lab and you get a week to do it, I usually did them the night before and was fine. No midterms or final tests, just a final research project where you and a group do a research project and then you write a paper on it. I would totally recommend the class to anyone interested, it's super fun!
