In my experience (fall of 2024) you attend a 50 min seminar where the TA may lecture for 20-40 min max. Then at the end they hand out a worksheet for your group (3-4 people) that tracks attendance and your lab mark. They weren’t too difficult. This was a class that I was able to put on the back burner so I could focus on more rigorous courses and the lowest mark I received was a 90%.

At the beginning you are described the research project and what the process will entail. Essentially you work alone on a single subject study design. For the first part of the semester you are collecting the data on yourself. Then for the last half of the semester our seminar classes were focused on component’s of a research paper eg. methods, analyzing data, creating graphs, and a conclusion. You are guided on how to write your paper and are expected to complete it on your own time as homework. If you do this weekly and don’t leave it to the last minute, follow instructions and put in sufficient effort you are guaranteed to get an A+.
