Chemistry is a laboratory science.
Learning to work in the laboratory is an important part of this course. The laboratory is not designed to correlate exactly with the lecture portion. You may see material in the laboratory before or after you encounter it in the lecture. Failure to complete the laboratory component of this course in a satisfactory manner will mean an automatic failure in the course. No make-up laboratories will be allowed under any circumstances.
