<p>I've heard from my math professor that sections can be curved accordingly (the prof said that if there are differences between sections, adjustments will be made accordingly (I guess how some GSIs give much harder quizzes than other GSIs comes to play)). I was wondering this type of curving is present in chem classes, between the different lab sections. </p>
<p>I am in a Monday lab section. What I've noticed is that not a lot of people (except those who are in the Monday lab sections) work on their lab write-ups before Monday. However, everyone else seems to work on their write-ups after our labs. I can tell because everyone else in the other sections ask each other questions, help each other, and actually give answers to the lab write-up questions in the chatroom on bspace after my lab section has already turned our write-ups in. Unfairly, students in the other lab sections can get higher grades for their write-ups because they got help from some people in the chatrooms, whereas we (in the Monday lab sections) don't have that type of assistance. I almost feel as if I'm blindly tackling the lab write-ups sometimes (resulting in lower scores).</p>
<p>So I wonder if lab sections in chem classes (like Chem 4A) are curved. Those who are in the later lab sections have an unfair advantage, in my opinion.</p>
