This class was just very disorganized – we only had lecture once a week, so I never felt like I was really picking up anything that we learned, and the hearings were only really helpful when I was the one giving the presentation. I had Przyperhart for lab and absolutely LOVED her as a person, but the material of the labs was either way too confusing or way too simple (IMO). Overall it just wasn't a great class, but not something to stress much about if you have to take it as a requirement, which I did.

Lovely lovely class. Outdoor labs, research paper review and group work was much of the classload. Most of the semester was spent on a self-directed group research project that was super awesome and allowed for a lot of experience with different research methods and equipment.
This course is very slow-paced for the first 4-6 weeks, mainly self-paced projects for the last six weeks. There are a total of two presentations that you must do. There are two assignments that serve as take-home exams, which are fully open.
