"I LOVED my lab instructor, so much so that I would take a class again just to have her. She was the definition of fostering learning and she did it in such a productive way. She didn't just give us answers she gave us the thought process on how to get there. She is also such a kind human being, and she knows a ton about what she is teaching. You can tell she is genuinely passionate about biology which makes our learning environment so much better."
PROMPT: Please comment on the quality of the lab experience as related to your total learning experience in this course.
"The lab of this class I think helped me perform so much better in the class overall. I will be walking away knowing so much more about biology than I did before taking this course, which speaks to how amazing the teachers and lab assistants did."
"Super great, I learned a ton in this lab that was also closely related to what we learn in lecture. It was enjoyable, engaging, and full of lots of well–explained information. I am a visual learner and there were a ton of visuals. I was set up for success and challenged enough while still having achievable assessments."
