Overview
The class was extremely information based and most of the time in class was spent taking notes. Whether it be a lecture, a project presentation, or a guest speaker, notes were necessary. However, there was still fun to be had with some labs as well as a dissection of a rat.

Overview
This class is known for..well, a lot of things, to a degree. Ummm...
This class took a lot of field trips, laid outside in the sun every 45 minutes or so, stole Abel's pens, had issues, and took many many pages of notes. They didn't like to walk (therefore taking the bus frequently) and mercilessly teased Sahil Patel. They ended up naming Sahil Sasha so Abel could say 'girls' and include Sahil (Salt) at the same time. Thus, the iconic phrase "Ladies and Salt!" was born.
They are also known for the iconic I <3 DRUGS t-shirt, which was not authorized due to some standing rules and regulations regarding t-shirt content. I <3 RX was used instead, and stamped with the phrase "Teen Isolation Program" on the back.
