Hey aska!
I have a question that has been eating brain for a couple of days now: are the tests and exams of different lecture sections taught by different professors the same? For next semester (first year at UTSG) I’m thinking of attending lecture sections that I’m not officially enrolled in (BIO130 and CHM139), but the sections are taught by different professors – so do you know if the material covered and the tests will be the same, or do they differ? Does it even matter if I attend different sections (no attendance right?) or should I ‘sign up’ on the waiting list?
Thanks!

hey there,
the tests will probably differ. it’s a pretty big risk to attend a lecture taught by a different prof, because while they’ll teach the same stuff, they might emphasize different things.
also, if you want to write the tests, you will have to write them in the lecture section that you’ve signed up for. so if you’re going to lectures by a prof different from the prof who’s writing your tests and exams, that could be a problem.
at the end of the day, no one’s gonna stop you from going to whichever lecture section you want. you’re all grown up now; you can do what you want. but there is a risk involved, so just be careful.
cheers,
aska
