Andris Skuja PHYS103 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/27/2023	Pretty easy lab overall if you have a nice TA that will assist you. Not much preparation other than answering ExpertTA questions before the lab.
Andris Skuja PHYS103 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/23/2022	In preparation for each of the labs, there were questions to answer on ExpertTA. I found that there was not enough background knowledge or context to be able to answer them, so I made sure to start them early and ask for the TAs help when needed. The labs themselves ranged from easy to more difficult. I think we only had 10 labs, so we finished a few weeks before the semester ended. During every lab, there is the need to complete a worksheet, which can be tricky, so I found it helpful to ask the GA for clarification on questions. If one asked, I found the GA provided guidance on how to do experiments and answer questions.
Andris Skuja PHYS103 Anonymous 12/01/2019	This is the lab class for PHYS102, but the lab and the lecture have little to nothing in common. The ExpertTA was decent but sometimes had typos in it that resulted in losing points on questions. For example: "Question 1: What's the lowest frequency the ear can hear?" Chose the correct answer. "Question 1: What's the lowest frequency the ear can hear?" Chose the same answer as before (because it was the same question) and eventually find after losing all possible points that Q2 was meant to ask about the highest frequency. The TA (not Skuja, was Clayton Ristow) was helpful during the class. Labs were sometimes too abstract and didn't have enough background available to make them make a lot of sense.

Labs were sometimes too abstract and didn't have enough background available to make them make a lot of sense. However, Clayton helped out a lot during class, quickly but effectively explaining concepts and helping out with difficult questions.
