- this is right up my alley because I have had many labs. all were bad
- and you'll have to fight your way all the way through them but only
- because of the narrow minded professors. these labs ranged from
- phisology to 5 chem labs to a few food science labs. the treatment I
- recieved ranged from the professors refusing to have you in the class or
- ignoring you as though you did not exist. Different methofds were used
- from other students did the experiments whil you sat waiting for the
- data with little or no explanation where or how the numbers came from.
- I was alwas required by the school to have a lab assistant/babysitter
- who was not
- in the class. this was all a joke. the few labs where i learned a lot
- and bennefited the most was the labs where i worked as an equal partner
- in the lab with a small group. onne which i was a participant just like
- anybody else. too bad there weren't more of these types. boy! some
- people are so smart and yet so stupid.
