How do labs work?

For the laboratory portion of the course, most weeks will also have an assigned laboratory exercise. Assessment for each lab lesson will be the questions that are listed throughout each lesson. In addition to conducting the laboratory exercises and taking the assessment, you will also need to write a lab report.

Hear What BIOL 1010 Students are Saying

My favorite lab was naturally the microbes everywhere lab (microbiology is the greatest thing to me). We had to write our lab report with it and it showed me how to properly do a real experiment. I have written many lab reports before, but never one that I had to set up the experiment purposely for – it was amazing, challenging, and really encouraged me to “think” as opposed to simply “do.”

Being a person who isn’t afraid to argue a point or matter, both instructors responded very well to my mentality, and rather than shutting me down in my questions and arguments, they instead opened up for a discussion and debated with me. I loved this as it showed the teachers encouraged interactions and discussions – what an amazing way to truly understand the material!

My instructors for Biology I and Biology II were very student-success-focused, very interactive, and exceptionally passionate about their work. Each of them had different teaching styles and different ways of challenging students, but each was very supportive and helpful.
