This class was changed from last year apparently, and now we are graded on our participation, preparedness for the lab, and ability to answer questions as determined by the TAs. It is very subjective, and depending on the TA, can be good or bad. The labs are usually easy, and if you finish up faster, I think you get a better score. The Prelabs are open for groupwork, and are easy (Should be 100% for all). The lab grades were generally between 8-10, depending on what I said about, and were 40% of your grade. Lastly, postlabs are worth 40% of your grade, and vary in difficulty greatly each week (Got a few 100s, also got a few <60). I don't think the grades were curved down this year, as the postlab avgs were not too high and the TAs were stingy with giving 10s in lab. The highest grade in my section was in the lower 90's. Definitely not a fun class, and not very easy. Should honestly be worth 2 credits.


Also, Song was an awesome TA! Very helpful.
