Summer 2025 - This class is pretty chill and easy. The prof's lectures were very very boring and I pretty much stopped paying attention to them about halfway through the summer session, but they were mostly about how the different softwares works and not really important to understand how to use the softwares/get the wanted data/results. The lab sections were much more helpful on that end, with the TAs explaining what to do on each software in the first 30 minutes to an hour and you could leave the zoom to do your work for the rest of the lab time. Overall not really exciting at all, but if you want to still do some type of bio work over the summer or get practice writing a publishable scientific paper (or just want the MCDB lab credit covered since 104AL always fills up during priority enrollment...) this class is for you lol Grading: 15% - Attendance (both lecture and lab) 30% - 2 presentations (first is halfway through the quarter to show the prof/TA what you have so far and get feedback, second is the last day of class to show your finished results; both are just graded on completion) 55% - final report (a full-fledged scientific paper, actually graded on a rubric and stuff; they have you do each section throughout the quarter and give feedback so if you put in effort and listen to any feedback they give on each section, you should be fine when it's time to turn in the final paper)
