Junior Cert 10% Lab Book Problem

    So my teacher told us to rewrite all our lab experiments in a new copy because our experiments were mixed with the notes.
    I forgot to do this so is it ok to just give my mixed notes/experiments copy to the examiner? Or will they even bother take it up?
    I don't want to spend hours rewriting them. :/

    As far as I know most of the time they are not looked at.

    Technically the folens/edco experiment book has "notes" mixed in, so you'll be grand.

    Do we have to bring in our lab experiment book into the exam tommorrow, or give to the teacher, I never gave mine to my teacher? But she looked at them before and said she will sign it off?...

    Don't quote me on this, but I believe the lab books are not graded, if you have the experiments ticked in the green Coursework B booklet, you get the marks, as far as I know. I'm almost 100% sure you don't bring the lab book to the exam, in fact I'd put money on me being right about that.

    The lab books should have been handed up to the teacher to be kept by the school you can't hand them up tomorrow. If the SEC comes to check them which is rare you won't get the marks as they can't show you have the write ups done.

    Our teacher and the school's other two science teachers gave everyone in the year back those books on the last day of the year, it's beside me here :/

    If they come to check it will be a random inspection in the school it won't be tomorrow it would be a some stage over the summer I don't know the exact specifics.

    The Junior Cert timetable (the one for practicals, orals etc, not the written papers) doesn't show dates for assessment of Coursework A (30 experiments) in Science, although it shows dates for everything else kept in school, and the Coursework B booklet is put in a plastic bag/folder thing and your exam paper is put in there tomorrow too like CSPE, so I'd be of the opinion that if they were going to be inspected it'd be during school time. Seeing as it's of no relevance to us when projects are inspected, yet they've listed when everything will be, I'd say Coursework A won't be inspected somehow.

    LC student here. The science teacher signs off on them. The teacher stores them away in case an inspector comes. More than 90% of the time they're not checked. My teacher in JC did have his inspected a while back though - the inspector just checked a few from what I could gather. They gave some critisms but the students still got their 10%.
