Quite good re chem lab, except he missed two points. In more senior labs, there might be a resource that has to be used such as a spectrometer to test the results. Thus, being in better control of one’s schedule (get there first) or having partitioned tasks (what can we do while waiting) is a win. And the more important omission is that the TA must remain there until all groups are finished…. You might miss your dinner but odds are they’re going to miss most of theirs. Their solution is to eat a larger lunch. And to track how people progress. Yeah, they can and usually do help the slowbies, but it’s best to work or train yourself out of such “negative visibility”. Do it before there’s more on the line that a lab grade or comment.
