• depends heavily on your labmates, but if you want to do well, show up VERY well prepared by spending at least a couple of hours reviewing the prelab material. time management is pretty important (also dependent on labmates), and there isn't much leeway for equipment issues or other mess ups.
  i will say the experiments and material covered in the course are very interesting and relevant. overall a stressful (for me, due to labmate(s)) but interesting course

• josh is really enthusiastic about developing this course since it's the first time it has returned! i find it stressful as it's just me and my lab partner in what supposed to be a 3-person group setting. overall the experiments are interesting but i dont like having a 40% final exam after 10 weeks of 3 hours lab.

• so much more engaging than the first year labs. I feel like I actually learned something in this. make sure to do your prelabs and come prepared with a plan, time management is super important

• This lab sucks. So boring and felt very repetitive and expected you to know so much coding for this as well :(
