hi you guys.
i've tried searching, but came up with nothing.
for those who have taken it within the past couple of years (i think it was different before 1998, or so) which of the 4 have labs.
i put 2 & 3, but I just want to make sure.
thanks!
🙂
 
2,3 and 4 all had labs for me. 4's was more of a "computer" lab, but I still counted it on AMCAS.
 
Me too... 😛
 
great, thanks you guys.
i knew i could count on sdn.

i didn't include ls 4 because i didn't remember doing labs and was worried because most schools want a year of bio with lab.
now i have my 3 courses i.e. 1 year of lab.
woo-hoo.

sdn'ers are awesome!
 
Damn I feel old. I took them back in the day when there wasn't a lab.
 
i thought it's considered a demo, not a lab.
 
I think LS1 is considered a lab...at least, I wrote it down and no one complained.
 
Now that I think of it, I am pretty sure it is a lab (for LS1). At least, that's what my roommate calls it... I haven't taken it yet.

Thanks.
 
Hey bruinkid, are you a freshman? Maybe I know you. 🙂
 
uclabruin-
nope, i'm not a freshman! graduating class of 2001!
 
I did apply for the entering class of 2002 and no school I talked to had a problem with listing LS1 as having a lab. I mean really, if they make you do that stupid seed gathering experiment, you should get credit for it!

every time i'm in the ls building and see the underclassmen collecting the seeds i giggle 🙂
 
Bump

So LS1-4 all w/ "lab"? I don't know how much curriculum has changed since then...

I took them b/t '03-'07...and from what I remember...

LS1 - had a "demo" but we did do some "experiments" if you want to count that spoon/seed evolution experiment

LS2 - can't remember? I feel like there was some optional dissection maybe but don't know what else...

LS3 - lab for sure

LS4 - can't remember at all =(

any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance
 
LS 2 and 3 have Labs

LS 1 and 4 DO NOT have labs and you can not consider their discussion as labs

for the last quarter of lab there is biochem 153L, and a couple of upper div classes which are labs and are required for most Life Science majors.
 
look at the original post dates... someone decided to bump a SIX YEAR OLD THREAD
 
dwc929 needed a question answered and I answered it so theres no real problem here. but it did feel kind of weird responding to a six year old thread lol
