This is the worst class I've taken so far in my entire life. TAs tend to return your last lab report after you have submitted your newest one, which even seems ideal since mine gave us feedback even two weeks later for the last few experiments. So if you ever make a mistake, you usually make at least twice. This number could be larger when your TA suddenly decides that he would start take points off for some details. This class is basically destroying your quarter from beginning to the end.

Worst class i've ever taken so far in ucla.

This is by far the worst class I have taken my entire freshman year at UCLA. If you're a South Campus major you can't really get around it because its a pre req for a lot. To start off with, the grading scheme is crazy and very detrimental to student collaboration. 1/3 of your lab section gets an A, 1/3 gets a B, and the other 1/3 gets a C. So collaboration is really not encouraged with other people in your lab section because you're competing against them for a grade. You could get a 92 on the lab report but if everyone else gets a 97, you're getting a C on that report.
The lab manual is not helpful or clear at all. The professor expects you to just intuitively know what to include in the lab report and never actually tells you what specifically you need to address. The instructions for the labs are confusing and the TA's don't really know whats going on so they can't help you. The lab reports are pointless busy work that teach you nothing but how to use Excel. Each report takes probably 15-20 hours a week and they're just pointless restatements of the lab manual and pages long derivations of error equations.
I have learned nothing in this class about physics that I didn't know before. The time that this class takes up is way too much for what a 2 unit class should be. Start the lab reports early and include everything you can possibly think of even if you think its obvious because chances are you will get points taken off for not including the derivation of one little equation that you thought was just a known fact.

This quarter has not ended yet but I really would like to say this is the worst class I've ever taken. Number one, even the TA says the lab manual is poorly written. Number two, I really don't like the way lab reports are graded, because we're often asked to pretend to write real research papers about something everybody knows. I just have no idea how to pretend that way. Also, the requirements for the lab report is very unclear so I end up losing points for reasons that don't make sense. I work in a lab and my PI and postdoc say I write very good abstracts, papers, and proposals, and my scientific writing worked for real conferences, so I don't understand how the grading scheme works. I would seriously prefer the way the chemistry and life sciences departments do the lab classes (though I really hate the chemistry CPR writing assignments). It's week 7, and I haven't learnt anything new from this class. LS23L is also a 2 unit lab class and similarly the professor never showed up, yet I learnt a lot from that class about gel electrophoresis, PCR, and so on that I couldn't learn from other LS classes. I strongly recommend Dr. Campbell to learn from other departments. Number four, I can't believe how much time this class takes; it should really be 4 units instead of 2. What's worse, I don't really learn from the time I spent.

This is one of the worst classes ever. It is a complete and utter waste of time. You learn absolutely nothing meaningful. Perhaps this class should be called a typing lesson or something because all you do it type for pages and pages about some principle of physics that is obviously true. (Why else would they make you do it)? The "experiments" are not as much experiments as they are UCLA's desperate attempt at creating "laboratory" experiences for their undergraduates. However, this class is a complete failure in that sense, since you only need to spend about 10 minutes to collect the data, and the rest is busywork that you do on your own. The professor never shows up, instead it's just a TA that does everything. I can't believe that a professor would actually get paid for "teaching" this class, since they seriously don't do anything. This class could be easily removed from the curriculum and it wouldn't affect any student's understanding of physics.

This class is awful. I'm required to take it to complete my physics series, and it's hands down the worst class I've ever taken. For it only being a two unit class, I spent at least 10 hours a week doing the lab reports (which are due every week). The grading scheme for this class is insane. It's graded on a strict bell curve, and you're only compared to the 20 or so kids in your lab section. My section was about 80% international students so I was screwed for the entire quarter. I also had an awful TA who had no idea what was going on in the class and could barely speak english so that didn't help either. If you don't procrastinate on doing the reports it won't be as awful, but plan on spending more time for this class than a normal two unit class.

This class has been the bane of my existence and it's only two units!! There is a lab report due every week and they take HOURS. Worse than that, this is the only class I've ever had where the curve will actually hurt you: if everyone in the class gets above a 90 and you get 90, you're screwed. Luckily, the professor only gives out As, Bs, and Cs. The professor insists this is the best way to run the course, but I call bullshit.
