Lab worksheets are graded for completion, scale of 1-3, 1 means minimal effort, 3 exceptional. These don’t factor into your grade unless you are within a few points of a higher or lower grade (e.g., A- vs. A or B+ vs. A- etc.). Your entire lab grade is based on two exams and weekly quizzes with one dropped. You work in partners but your work is graded separately and doesn’t really count anyway since your grade depends on exams/quizzes which you obviously do by yourself. However, if you goof off in lab and don’t carry out the experiments, you won’t do well because those labs really help you when it comes to the exams, particularly the latter half of the course.
