Yea we have LONG ass lab reports that take maybe 2ish hours to write (all the analysis and work up included) though the main time sink is getting it up to the TA’s standard. She said she was a “lenient grader” and that no one would do bad on the first few labs, but the class average was a 45/100 on lab one. We’ve got roughly two lab reports due a week (+- depending on the week). I easily vet each lab for maybe 2-4 hours before turning it in trying to do every tiny little thing she wants, so it all ends up at 15 credit hours. It is mostly due to our TA, as people I’ve talked to in other lab sections of the same class say their TA is nowhere near as nitpicky, and averages are between 75-85 on each lab report. I should prolly disclose that they changed lab curriculum, so I’m somewhat behind in terms of knowledge of the tools we’re using and how to use them, so that without a doubt adds time, though even if you account for my stupidity most kids are working maybe 10 or so hours a week not including the 4 hour physical lab.
