Spring 2018 - Highly recommend taking 100L for bio degree requirements. The a big chunk of your course grade is based on an experiment you perform with your group. Things like the prospectus of the project, the presentation of the project, and the final scientific paper of the project. There were also busy work items due in between such as individual journals or worksheets that you do in class. Overall, this course definitely balances a heavy course load because there is nothing to study for but only consistent progress in your project. My TA, Mairin, in particular was awesome. She was very chill and conducted the lab in a very casual way but at the same time induced great discussion on general lab techniques in biology. I learned very important skills, had great group members, and conducted a very cool experiment that I wouldn't have been able to do. Take this lab and don't regret it!
