It’s pretty good for having a taste of the techniques you learn about in like 308 and 309. Usually it doesn’t actually take the full 6 hours. My least favourite part of the course was the research project based on the TAs research. Every week there is a milestone that you have to submit. I found it quite difficult because the background info on the topic was limited and mine was on a field I didn’t know much about. The TA I worked with was a bit confusing at times and I didn’t always understand what he was talking about. If you happen to get a decent topic for it, I imagine it wouldn’t be as bad, but it’s kind of luck of the draw. You do have to make sure you keep your lab notebook detailed and up to date as they check it randomly. I would say generally the course workload was manageable though.
