I enjoyed the introduction to many different aspects of kin labs. The lab manuals that you are supposed to read ahead of time are long and often confusing but once you are actually in the lab and setting up the equipment, the process becomes clear. Participating in the set up of the lab is helpful to understand the process and for the final lab practical exam.

*Taken remotely due to COVID* Since the course was online, I feel like I missed out on some valuable experience. Reading how to set something up is most definitely not the same as being able to set it up. Lab reports are fairly simple and easy to understand especially if you do the activity sheets.
