But the institution doesn't back up that up in practice-Lab classes are paid at a lower rate than "Lecture courses" some classes you meet for 2 hours but get paid for one.

Also, let's eliminate the chunk that equivocates on the meaning of "lecture". Lots of words have multiple meanings and connotations, such as "douchebag" and "bunghole".
