<p>do they always take up 4 hours? I'm not sure if i should place a class right after a 4 hour lab -.-. hmm.</p>

<p>If you and your partner can do the experiment quickly you can get out early. But some labs are just really long and you should plan to stay the whole 4 hours.</p>

3

<p>What lab course is this?</p>

4

<p>they can go anywhere from 1.5 hours to 4 hours.</p>

5

<p>chem 4a .</p>

6

<p>are you assigned lab partners or do you pick?</p>

7

<p>Speaking from experience with Chem 4A, plan to be in lab for a majority of the time period.</p>

8

<p>How about..Chem 1A? Again, 4 hour labs.</p>

<p>Chem1A labs are total ********. Seriously. Unless they've improved the Chem1A lab curriculum, as I recall there was only ONE decently educational lab (the titration one). The rest were stupid crap. But regardless, the Chem1A lab time is split into the first hour for discussion and the remaining three hours for labwork. If you work fast enough, most of the time you should be able to get out before the end of the lab period.</p>

<p>^By ******** I mean bull$hit.</p>

<p>The amount of time it takes depends mostly on your GSI (time spent lecturing, teaching techniques, commentating, allowing partnering) and your own lab skills. If you want to speed things up, the best thing you can do is read through the week's protocols beforehand and develop a good mental picture of what you will be doing come lab-time. Take notes, highlight, and pre-make charts. </p>

<p>From what I can remember, 4A-B labs took considerably longer than the counterparts for 112A-B.</p>

<p>what about bio1b?</p>
