Instead of chatting with your buddies during lecture, perhaps you should pay attention to what the prof is instructing you to do. If you had done that, you would have heard the instructor stating that uncertainty isn't covered in lecture, but rather you need to read the lab manual for the information. Kinematic and vectors will come afterward so your effort isn't wasted.
You probably didn't pay attention in class for math either, else you would have heard that there are lab schedule with TAs to help you with Maple. If you looked carefully, you will also notice a tutorial file that is downloadable that will help you learn the concepts needed to do the lab.
My recommendation? Since your other eng friends in your rez didn't know about this, they are probably the same type of students that sit in lecture and talk excessively instead of listening to the prof. If that is the case, ditch them and find more studious eng friends.
