[nabs-l] question about college Labs (Anthro, biology, Physics, chemistry, etc.)

[Michael D Ausbun]

Hello Nabs:
	In the spring semester, I will be taking my first required “lab” course. The specific course is Physical Anthropology, which I have been told is geared toward the examination of bone structures and teeth of primates and humans (it may be different at other universities, it is just this way due to the focus of the professor who is teaching it). My question is about Labs in general—biology, chemistry, physics, anthropology etc.—because I will be taking a natural science course next fall, but if anyone has specifics about Anthropology labs as well, that would be cool too.

So, what have been your guy’s experiences in lab environments? Were there extra accommodations which had to be made to help you succeed? What were some of the challenges or things which were surprisingly easy for you?
Thanks for all the advice!
Respectfully,
Michael Ausbun
