Do TAs care about lateness to labs?
I have 10 minutes between class in Haggerty Hall and then a lab in Dreese Lab. Will the TA care if I show up a little late because of the distance?

I had to go from dreese to hagerty last fall and I made it in 15 with time to pee. You should be good. I’d still tell the TA though just in case.

Thank you for the answer

tell your TA before hand so they know.
Really though Haggerty isn't even past the south oval, just make sure you leave on time and make sure your TA sees you before you run to the bathroom or w/es

Oval will be basically unusable this semester though so you have to walk all the way around.

If you explain it to the TA they should be understanding.

There are points associated with attendance in most labs- so being late would cost you some of those points. Even if its just a little late.

It really depends on the person. If you disrupt the lab because you missed directions then it probably won't go over well.

Tell your professor in Hagerty about this too so they know you'll have to leave as soon as class is over.

Yes they will care and probably get annoyed unless you tell them ahead of time and even then they still may not be happy with you.
Shit, so I should try to look into changing sections?
It’s up to you you could try to contact the professor first and see. But I know for a lot of labs they do safety or lab introduction at the start of the time and if they have to wait 5 minutes to accommodate you or reexplain it you may be on their not so good side. Try to see what they say or try maybe getting a bike
