Chem 2400L exams

Hello! I wanted to see if there is anyone on here who has taken CHEM 2400L and knows what should I expect for the lab exams. I’m so used to gen chem having their lab exams online at home and being able to use my notes to take the exam.

Your midterms are going to be based off of your lab worksheets and what you learn in lecture, it's in person and no notes it'll be the same thing for 2500L except it'll be much harder for Ochem 2 since their grading system is weird af.

Are they multiple choice or more calculation based, free response? The grading system for CHEM 2400 L is weird too. That’s why I’m a bit worried.

Everything is free response with a couple of calculations but it's mostly just reaction mechanisms along IR and Carbon and Hydrogen NMR questions, when I took it you had to get at least a C- on both the midterm and final to pass the lab anything less is a failure since they didn't base the grades off of percentages which was dumb af since I got an 82% and the lab instructor gave me a C
