The lab itself is pretty straightforward, but the assignments suck so much. The pre-lab quizzes are very difficult, and only half of the questions are actually in the modules. The article reviews are even worse. The professor expects so much out of these reviews and the rubric doesn't explain anything about what you really need to do. Most of the articles are very technical and difficult to understand let alone fully read and make a review on them.

Weekly pre-lab quizzes, bi-weekly scientific article reviews, and worksheets dispersed throughout the semester.

The professor is very nice, it's just the assignments that are horrible.

That this is not a typical lab class you can skate by just by showing up, doing the lab, and going home.
