The 1 credit physics lab components at my school are only pass/fail. Will this cause a problem?

lol wut skool is that, i am just curious.

At my school, the physics labs are integrated into course and you don't get a separate grade for lab. So my school is even worse. LOL

Almost all the Ivy League schools do this, including my undergraduate (Ivy) institute. I would not worry about it or about the labs being pass/fail.

Same here. I don't think it's too bad.

Same.

I highly doubt that it will be an issue -- these classes at my school (read: GenChem and Physics) stick out on my transcript as the only 4 credit hr courses among a sea of 3hr's+1hr labs. I think adcomm's will crack the code.

lucky people

labs are incorporated....for a whopping 15%

Nope I'm in California. I guess this is very common.

It was like this at my school and every other school I've heard of, so it's pretty much the norm.

Having a separately graded 1 credit lab component is for losers anyway 😡

Yeah haha. The engineering physics lab sequence at my school is 2 classes, 2 units each, graded. And apparently it's impossible to get an A. Sucks for them. 😛
