Random Question about Chem Labs

<p>I’ll be a freshman next year and I just signed up for ch109’s four hour lab. I was wondering if they are actually that long (it seems almost ridiculous) and do labs actually take four hours?? Do they let us out really early or am I just naive and I’ll actually be doing experiments for that long??</p>

<p>Yes, they really do go on for that long. There were one or two labs that went OVER.</p>

<p>But there are a few that are shorter....earliest we got out was like...2:45. </p>

<p>I'll be honest, chem at BU is a B****! i've never seen another school with 4 sections in one chemistry class. It's HARD.</p>

<p>Am I a nerd to be excited for this class/labs? lol.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info sprkl325!! And when you say "hard", do you mean just b/c there are so many sections or b/c they actually make the material hard????....just wondering cause you are making me really nervous now...</p>

<p>i took chem 101/102, and the avg on every exam was between a 45 and a 60. its hard. they dont like giving partial credit, and depending on your lab tf, he/she can suck and give you a hard time when they say lab is really supposed to "help" your grade. i pulled an a- with a lot of hard hard work, but a large percentage of the class got a c or lower. it all depends how hard you work and how you take to the material.</p>

<p>ali who did you have as ur professor? im taking chem 101/102 this year as well with Dill.</p>

<p>lol i had dill, but he does make all the tests...and id focus on lecture notes WAY more than the book or even the problems in the book</p>
