The best part about this class was that time was not spent on post labs that required students to come in at other times. Students found that the labs were fun applications of physics concepts, and that the TA’s were helpful when assignments were unclear. Although students general y completed the labs in the al otted time, students agreed that they often felt rushed. Suggestions for improvement included providing clearer lab manuals and allowing students extra time to come in after class to finish labs if necessary. Prospective students should know that you wil not have time to work on your lab outside of class time.
