This is about your average lab experience, where the TA tells you how to do the basics of the lab and is available for any assistance, and your team writes up a lab report within the week. TAs can be a bit rough on the grading, particularly with certain deliverables and lab report formatting (they really push for these to look and feel professional). Overall, though, labs are simple, well-defined in the manuals, and every team eventually gets the hang of what the TAs are looking for. The professor is available to help if necessary; however, the TA does not have a set OH, so you will need to reach out to them and set up a meeting, should you have problems (and trust me, you will, but in a good way). Overall, the lab is actually much easier than the Environmental Engineering Lab (in my opinion), and getting an A shouldn't be too hard as long as your team works well together, works slightly ahead of due dates, and communicate your needs regularly with Dr. Ivey-Burden and/or the TA. #tCFfall25
