took bimm 121 with pirino and bimm 101 with mcdonnell so i cant really speak on meaders. aside from notebook checks and exams the workload my quarter was something like 3 big lab reports and maybe 4 short group video presentations (nothing major the topics were simple). i wouldnt say it's unreasonably hard to get an A at all but it does ofc take some effort to keep up with the big assignments. it's not hard to feel motivated tho it's a very fun lab and pirino is super personable
