So like at most schools, organic lab at my university condenses 1 year of organic lecture into one semester of lab. At first, I heard it was hard and unforgiving, but I figured since I've never heard anything positive about any upper level science course, this should be manageable. Our TA is brand new, and very nice. By the third week, 11/18 people had dropped and the people remaining (including me), none of which had above a D. Granted the material isn't hard, but it's more of the TA's way of grading by taking off more points than needed and deliberately giving D lab grades. Meanwhile, the lab next door had 1 person drop and the average is a B+.
Just some moral support of similar situations where it wasn't an intelligence or effort based grading system, just a crappy TA.
