Powers Theory and Powers Lab constitute the theoretical and practical parts of one course, Introduction to Superpowers.[1] Powers Theory is a lecture section, with occasional demonstrations; it focuses on the theoretical underpinnings of superpowers. Powers Lab is more focused on coming to understand your individual powers and how to better utilize them. The sections are taken concurrently.
In theory the Lab sections should be rather smaller than the Lecture sections, to provide more one-on-one interaction; this would also require more instructors, as there could be multiple sections meeting at the same time. There is some indication in canon of lab sections being divided by powers, with like powers grouped together, which would allow for focused mini-lectures and exercises applicable to all class members. Conversely, there is evidence for integrated sections, to allow for learning to work with disparate powers, akin to Team Tactics I. These are non-compatible world views, unless one had large sections which divided into smaller sections as needed; one day divided by powers, the next intermingled by powers. There is support for this, for Hank talks about specialized lab sections, at the same time as being in an integrated section with Wallflower. Ayla mentions lab assistants (a Dr. Yablonski) which would support ad hoc mini-lab sections formed from the main section. Ayla notes student aides early on, which helps with large lab sections.[2]
