No lab instructor...

Our first day of lab, the lab coordinator told us that we are not bound to the section we signed up for, especially one of our Monday evening labs. There are two sections that are taught at the same time with different test-out instructors.

The first section, mine, will only have their instructor present at lab test-outs, ONLY at the lab test-outs. So on our regular scheduled time for lab, we will not have an instructor to answer our questions. There are four test-outs a week for our section and I'm guessing she's going to leave right after she is done.

I know that the lab coordinator said that they are there to answer questions about the videos we had to watch and whatever we were supposed to read, not actually teach us what we are learning. I assumed we were going to read, watch videos AND learn from our instructors demonstration.

Words of wisdom and advice would be highly appreciated. :heartbeat Thanks in advance!

I would consider pairing with students at a level above you for practice if the instructor is not available to you. If you need outside assistance, it is possible that they may make arrangements to meet with you and practice.
