If you actually show up everyday for the class it's not that bad.

Would do an experiment or two during the lab and then be assigned 1-3 homework like assignments to complete either in lab if you get done with the experiment early, or to finish outside of the lab.

Never saw either of the professors at all, the lab I was in was run by our TA which I had a thick accident and couldn't always understand. So I have no idea what our professor is/was actually like.

Go to class, if you don't then the workload goes from light to a lot in an instant because you'll have to makeup any labs that you miss.
