Super easy yet boring class. Labs are kinda wasting time.
Clear learning opportunities.
Since this class is a lab, you show up once a week to do some lab that you were given info about the week prior and get started. Mistakes happen, and you don't really get punished for that. My group was really nice and the projects were usually pretty fun! My favorite was looking at cells under the microscope, including blood cells, neurons, skin cells, etc. The last lab was a make-up where you can get back any points you missed and get full credit in lab section (assuming you missed fewer than ~15 points during the quarter). The final exam was 40 questions (I think) in 45 minutes and it def wasn't enough time, but the second part of the exam was with the group (which we did on zoom) in which we review the questions and answer them together. We have like 2 days to do it, and though I don't remember the final grade, we did well enough!
Review:
Prof: What’s more to say about Pflugel? Everyone has always wondered whether this person actually exists. The lectures very very slow (and mandatory now), but everything is pretty much determined by your TA and what happens in your class is done in your lab. Just show up to lecture read the lab manual during the class preferably before the lecture to make sure you know what’s going on to a certain extent, but they explain most of it during the lab so don’t worry too much about it. I suggest reading the lab manual and trying to understand the concepts because then you’ll do less studying for the final. For the final, really try to understand the major concepts in each of the labs. A lot of the questions were in the lab manual or stated in lecture. So understand the reasoning behind why you are doing what you are doing.
Class: The class is an overall fun class. It’s really laid back with a lot of quizzes (prelab, inlab, postlab). Some of the labs are really fun some of them are very tedious. Most of the work you do will be in the lab. There will be scientific writing assignments you have during the duration of the quarter. They are a lot easier than you think so don’t be too intimidated by them. Just try your best to learn the content, not just for a grade, after all that’s why you are at university. Do that and you should get an A.
