The CPR assignments are absolute trash. You basically have to write a scientific paper based on hypothetical data and arguments. Everything is busy work, and I learned nothing new. You learn literally everything else in this class from your LS lectures and upper division classes. The TAs don't let you leave early, and my TA spent way too much time talking about stuff that everyone already knew.
The expectations for this class are very clearly outlined, and like the rest of the LS 7 series it asks that you learn the material at home with videos and quizzes before coming into lab. This makes things very convenient and it simplifies getting an easy A because there's a big safety net and you can redo some of the assignments to get full points, but the recorded lectures are not particularly engaging. Most of the material is review from 7A-C, the only real new stuff is just specifics about the reagents or equipment used in the lab section. The lab section is mildly fun some of the time, but the vast majority of the time my group spent waiting with not much to do, which was made worse because you aren't allowed to leave until every group finishes and some TAs don't even let you leave early. All of the writing assignments are super easy so getting an A in this class is basically a given as long as you do the work, but it will be a long and boring 10 weeks.
Most of the things we learned, I already knew, so the course wasn't particularly super conducive to my learning, but it was perfectly fine for someone who has never had lab experience. Shoutout to TA Halle who was great and super clear on procedures for all of the labs!
The lectures and labs are a bit strange and feel really complicated if you don't read through the instructions step-by-step, but the labs are also super interesting and I feel like I learned a lot from them so that's always good. The recorded lectures are good to just get introduced to the material, but you almost always need to read the lab manuals during the labs. The final was pretty chill as well and the grading scheme is super forgiving to get a very easy A.
This class was not bad. I think the experiments themselves were interesting and the structure of the class is similar to any other 7 series class (extremely structured with buffer points). As other reviews have stated, it's a pretty chill class BUT there is a good amount of busy work. When people called it a free class, I assumed minimal effort would be required but that's not exactly true. You definitely need to put a good amount of effort but it doesn't have to be polished effort. Although it was nice to not have to stress to much about grades, the assignments were honestly tedious at times and annoying, but as long as you stay on top of it and do your work, you should be able to get an A. The final was also pretty relaxed and there is no midterm.
Easy class but long labs. Lecture is through pre recorded videos that are graded by correct response. There is an iclicker quiz when class begins and a post lab quiz online. Labs can take very long and tedious but they are not difficult as long as you follow the lab manual. You learn very basic lab techniques and go through different topics and experiments while writing 3 papers with the first 2 being only portions of a full paper and the 3rd being a full paper. These papers are graded by your peers and the professor and papers are graded rather generously.
