This class was one of the most pointless courses I have ever taken at UVA. The labs were meant to be "investigative" but were terribly set up so oftentimes you would conclude something based off of the results of your experiment that was completely contrary to what the law you were investigating states. Additionally, the TAs are COMPLETELY worthless. Every single question my TA helped me answer was marked as incorrect when the lab was graded. If this wasn't enough, the labs are graded based on accuracy--so you are taking a lab that teaches you nothing and then are asked to make broad conclusions that are completely dependent on applying a law that you have never learned in class. On top of this, the prelabs are just as (if not worse) than the lab itself and require you to make predictions which are then ALSO graded on correctness. This lab would work about as well as if you had just left me in a room with a bunch of wires and told me to "figure out something cool" go sign up for a Chegg account now because you are not going to make it through this class if you dont.

The class itself isn't hard and the course has improved a lot since the fall semester in terms of correlation with lecture, but the grade distribution is really off. It is almost impossible to get an A. Take the course because you have to, but don't be surprised if you accidentally lose one point somewhere and it ends up costing you an A.

And....... that was a royal pain...... Professor doesn't give jack squat about any of the students, the TAs can be okay if you get a good one. Grading is random and good luck understanding his questions. All in all an obnoxious, useless course. This is one y'all are just gonna have to suck it up and get it over with.

Absolutely ridiculous. Somehow got an A- after having nearly perfect scores on the post labs (about 95% average). Spent more time for this waste of time class than I did for orgo lab, and learned nothing. You won't see the 'professor' ever, if that is what you even call it - Yoon and Bychov are never present, and clearly don't care. It is classes like this where I'm ashamed of being here at UVA. Find me a person who found this class useful, and I'll find you a liar. Also, note the stingy grading - 6% A, 0% A+? So you're telling me I can pull straight A's in every other premed class, except this one credit lab? Unbelievable.

This class is curved down like crazy, extremely arbitrarily and subjectively graded, and overall completely unfair. This shouldn't even be a premed requirement, it just hurts GPAs, wastes time, and adds stress to courseloads. I had a 92.9 and got an A-, but the highest grade in my section was a 94!

Lab was quite boring and confusing. Though it was easier to finish the experiments this semester, the post-lab quizzes got harder this semester. Oh and the curve - if you figure out how it works, please come tell me?
