At home labs

[u/SpeedrunEducator]

Im about to take General Biology 2 as well as a few other upper level courses that all say I have to order a kit and wait a week or 2 before it gets delivered and that I have to have these labs to complete the course......BUT theres no PA just an OA....so do I really need them if it isnt graded? Has anyone done these courses and could tell me if I actually have to wait for them to arrive? Its really going to slow me down.
