<p>So basically, sparkle415 is saying that the exam means more than the class. She said that a good exam will make up for a bad grade. And a bad exam will pull down a good grade. Under this logic, getting a 2 and an A is functionally equivalent to get a 2 and a C or something.</p>
<p>I think that's incorrect, or should be. Students ought not be penalized for getting placed in a class with an easy/incompetent teacher.</p>
