Class itself is pretty easy and straightforward. About 20 points of extra credit is offered. A few field trips.

If you need a lab, take this. Its easy and fun lab.

Great class to fulfill the lab assignment for the bio major. Only downside is that there were some off campus field trips (Santa Monica Beach and Ballona Wetlands) that we had to get out own transportation for which was kind of annoying. The assignments were pretty doable and the final paper was doable as you work on the parts of it throughout the latter half of the quarter. The grade is solely dependent on the TA. There was 15 points of extra credit offered which was great. There isn't a lot of interaction with the professor (I only say her once in lab) but she seems super passionate and kind. We rarely stayed in lab for the full 4 hours. It was a super doable class and I highly recommend it. Just be sure to look over the rubric carefully to get all the points possible.

Fun class, take it in person so you can attend all the field trips :) These were the highlight of my quarter, and since we're put into groups very early on in this class, field trips were a good opportunity to get to know my group very well! Only kind of stressful thing was finding transportation to the field trips, so try to group up with someone who has a car!
