This is a list of the ways that professors
grade their final exams:

All grades are plotted along the normal bell curve.

Dept Of Psychology:
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.

Dept Of History:
All students get the same grade they got last year.

Dept Of Religion:
Grade is determined by God.

Dept Of Philosophy:
What is a grade?

English Dept.:
Your final exam will be scored by totaling the weight
of all the books you read this semester:
40+ pounds - A
30 pounds - B
20 pounds - C
10 pounds - D
<10 pounds - F

Students are asked to defend their
position of why they should receive an A.

same grade!

All of your grades, as a collection, will reach the level
where your marginal product (MP) of labor for each individual
grade is equal.
