Never thought i would not receive an A for a lab class. Everything was graded at the end and had extremely vague instructions. Gotten points knocked off for a bad conclusion. even though it told me to summarize. By the time I knew what type of lab report she wanted, the labs were all done. Someone should honestly fire this atrocity of a professor.

I cannot emphasize how horrible this professor is as a person and an instructor. The course is beyond poorly designed. The lab "guides" are horrendously bad at elucidating what is actually happening in the thing in front of you. She has the empathetic capacity of a single RNA strand. However, you will for sure learn how to do a linear fitting.

Unclear grading scheme for 20AL-BL-CL. Fygenson was basically absent from all labs, and her mandatory lectures for 20CL were a waste of time and were canceled often without warning. Get a good TA or this class will be horrible. This is the first time this class has been run, but it was not good.

Incredibly unclear instructions, we had no idea what we were being graded on half the time. We were marked down for not including things that weren't asked for in the lab manual. When you do get a lab grade, it generally comes with about 4 words (if that) of explanation that don't help you improve.
