Fall 2024 - Pretty easy class overall. The lectures were pretty boring but most of the material was on the slides. There were a few times when things popped up that weren't on the slides, but for the most part if you understand what is going on on a slide then that's what was talked about in the lecture. The homework was easy as long as you went over the lecture material. It pretty much went over what we talked about in lecture and lab and just made sure you understood what we did. The labs were quite fun imo. As other comments said, they give you a step-by-step instruction of what you have to do and they are very helpful in troubleshooting any problems you have. The midterm and final was quite similar to the labs, but it didn't give you the directions and you did have to combine things learned in different labs. It also went into a little bit of the conceptual things so make sure you know why you are doing these labs and what the goal you're trying to achieve is. Overall, this is a fun class, especially if you're into rocks, and I would recommend taking it.
