I'm old. I'm like, 45 years old.
Is this how it works in 2016?
One can just sit down and knock out labs that they have yet to been taught the basics to understand?
Maybe I am not understanding your issue, please correct me if I am not?
If I am not misunderstanding your issue, you might want to drop the class (it's early in the school year) and take a lower level chem class that will prepare you to sail through the first few weeks of the chem class you are currently enrolled in?
Whatever it is? Best of luck to you.

There is no lower chemistry than this offered at the college level. Unit conversions are chapter 1 or 2 of the lowest level introductory chemistry course. The pre-lab worksheets for laboratory classes are used to familiarize the student with the calculations or procedures that they will need to do in lab. They generally can be completed easily if the directions are followed. I have no idea how the OP's university handles lab assignments, but the students at my institution are required to keep a laboratory notebook containing all of their laboratory procedures, data, and calculations, and the data must be recorded chronologically with very specific protocols used to prevent falsification. I am guessing that the OP's frustration with filling in the "right" pages ahead of time is an attempt to circumvent some of these measures.
