I’m a Computer Science major and this upcoming semester, I’ll be taking a course in Java programming. I understand that it’s split into a lecture and a lab. One is the actual instruction time and the other is the part I’m confused about. I may be answering my own question but from what I was told and read online, the lab is just practicing what we learned during the lecture. But how? Again, I’m answering my own question but I’m curious as to what to expect. Is this gonna be time to independently work on stuff and the professor is just there to answer questions? Or a guided lesson that’s a continuation of lecture? Thamk you everyone. Have a great semester!!
Labs are required and usually led by a teaching assistant.
In the lecture, they introduce programming techniques. In the lab, you work on writing the code for an assignment. You may work alone, or in a group. There will be a teacher there to help you with the assignment. The lab is the most crucial part of the course, as that is where you actually write Java code.
I figured that’d be the case. Great answer by the way. 
Thank you!
Interesting. Meaning I have to pass BOTH sections of the class sin order to get the grade I want/need. I can’t have an overall A with an A in Lecture but a D in Lab. Makes sense. Thanks!!
