Is A grade achievable at Thomas Edison with lab phy/bio/chem with lab courses ?

Is A grade achievable at Thomas Edison with lab phy/bio/chem with lab courses ?

It says 93-100 is an A

Do they ever curve ? (I think not because of the numerical grading scheme)

Below is a sample physics sheet:
syllabus_PHY-129-oct14

Please people who have recently taken the courses respond.

Why wouldn't an "A" be achievable? If you score 93% or better you'll earn an A.

+1, That's exactly it! If you are following and plugging in the hard work in a class at TESU, it's not going to be a problem.

Tough grading was never a problem in any of the classes I took. If I did the assignment correctly, I got an A.

Do they curve or not ? Or the absolute grading applies ?

Of the classes I took through TESU, none were curved.

Have you taken any physics/bio/chemistry labs ? Do you have to turn in videos/pics/skype sessions or just reports ?

Yes and no- through TESU I completed about 30 credits, but only biology. No videos/pics/skype were required. I took another 30+ lab sciences as a distance learner through Harvard Extension and Ocean County College. In both cases pics were required but not video or skype for lab reports.

In my experience, there are 2 kinds of distance learning labs- the first kind is virtual, where you do an activity on the computer. The second is where you set up your lab at home and email/photograph your lab reports. The labs at home are a lot more expensive, but if you're taking the sequence you said, I'm guessing you're entering an occupation that requires a test- so if the MCAT is in your future, you really want hands on labs at a minimum, in person if you can swing it (I couldn't).
I have never heard of TESU using Skype for anything, maybe someone else has feedback on that?
