How Grades Are Assigned |
Here is a list of the ways professors here at an American University (Name is classified) grade their final exams:
Department of Statistics:
Department of Psychology:All grades are plotted along the normal bell curve.
Department of History:Students are asked to blot ink in their exam books, close them and turn them in. The professor opens the books and assigns the first grade that comes to mind.
Department of Religion:All students get the same grade they got last year.
Department of Philosophy:Grade is determined by God.
What is a grade?

Law School:
Department of Mathematics:Students are asked to defend their position of why they should receive an A.
Department of Logic:Grades are variable.
Department of Computer Science:If and only if the student is present for the final and the student has accumulated a passing grade then the student will receive an A else the student will not receive an A.
