What are the labs like?

I already have an AS although I never took a physics class. I aced calc I and II but I don't remember most of calc II anymore.

For me at least, Physics I and II were basically following directions in a lab manual and replicating the experiment, taking notes on measurements and such, and then later writing out a report. Usually required extrapolating a bit from the experiment, confirming whether the data matched expected results, acknowledging sources of error, etc. Midterms and finals were basically setting up and replicating an experiment from memory, pain in the ass tbh.

The experiments were fairly basic and simplistic in nature, nothing strictly difficult. More tedious than anything sometimes.

Physics III was more of the same, kinda, with the difference of having zero guidance from the TA on pretty much anything.
