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.

minimal instructions, yet maximum scrutiny when it comes grading. horrible.

Awful class. Unclear grading, tons of work for 2 units

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.

The 20AL-BL-CL series is a new curriculum, so of course its not going to go perfectly the first time. That being said, I literally did not see the professor once in class. Your experience is going to highly depend on which TA you have. Most are disinterested and not great at answering questions. Be prepared to learn everything on your own.

Absolutely horrible professor. Do not take for Physics 5L during the pandemic. Her labs are graded very harshly, and the workload required for this one credit class is so much more than the coursework required for the other labs. AVOID.

Instructs the lab TA's to grade lab notes like reports, so grades take a bit of a hit if you aren't thorough. Prof. Fygenson is very helpful though, and wants students to succeed. She is accessible and accommodating.

Don't take Fygenson's Phys 3L and 4L! It is only for physics major, but as a physics major student, I still don't recommend you to take her lab, because the name of the course is still 3L/4L, but it is much. harder than regular 3L/4L. Get ready for this 1 unit class become your nightmare if you will take her 3L/4L, not as 25L has a different name.

confusiong

Glad I learned imageJ. Its helped me so much.....
