Hi, just new to galaxy zoo and have started classifying. Is anyone checking the classifications for us newbies or is every galaxy classified multiple times by other more experienced classifiers?

Nobody is checking your classifications. But if your classifications generally agree with other peoples, then your classifications get a heavier "weight" factor. Every galaxy is looked at between 20 and 50 times, so if you made a poor choice, it won't matter too much.
If a totally mischievous person classified at random, their classifications would eventually be given no weight.
