This lab is TA taught. It was a lot of work and participation was required during the long 4-hour lab period. There are many assignments and a final research paper. My group did not receive the equipment for our experiment from the faculty until week 9, a few days before the final presentation was due.

This course is TA-taught. The only interaction my group had with Dr. Gorlitsky and Dr. Lipman was through an hour-long office hour they held, in which we received optional feedback for our initial research project idea. Because the class is TA-taught, your grade will heavily depend on your TA, and the professors will only be accessible if you request extra meetings with them (the professors seem to often be busy, as my group emailed a meeting request and did not receive a response). The course revolves around a group research project in which you write a prospectus (proposal) for, present on twice, and write a final paper for. This class was more work than I expected as several of my group members did not pull their weight, and the only consequence for this is a lower group participation grade, which is a small portion of the grade.

I would not really recommend this lab honestly. It’s not that it’s insanely difficult, it’s just a lot of work and it can be annoying when you have a bunch of other things going on. I had Sara as my TA and I liked her a lot, it wasn’t too difficult to get an A, just make sure you meet with your TA often and ask for lots of guidance on your group project. Also, almost your entire grade is based off of one big project/paper and you can’t choose your group members so make sure everyone is contributing equally and you’ll be fine.

I took EEB 100L with Sara as my TA. She's fairly new to being a TA for 100L so don't take her class. She's very picky and will nitpick your papers. You'll spend a lot of time collecting your data and she will mark you off for the littlest things. If you want an easy A class, don't take it with Sara. You'll end up feeling frustrated especially if your group members don't contribute much.

Took this lab with Alyssa and she is the bomb.com. The class itself is pretty boring, but she did her best to keep our spirits up during the pandemic. Unfortunately, in an online format the research design is pretty limited so i'd recommend taking it in person. Although it is an easy A for an online class IMO.

100L is a drag. It's not difficult to earn an A, but of course, work is required throughout the quarter to design your research project, turn in proposals, presentations, results, etc. There are no tests. I recommend Alyssa as a TA, she is helpful and chill
