College student only gets 2 questions correct on a 100 question Statics exam: 'I studied and reviewed the homework.'

Everyone was acting like he was some big idiot for failing his test so absurdly, but did they even consider that maybe Statics is a harder class than Statistics?

Somebody who gets a 4.0 in a Communications degree might've gotten a 2.0 if they had chosen a more difficult major.

Instead, you write three essays per semester, and they make up the bulk of your final grade. There were times when I wrote essays I considered absolutely horrible, and I still earned an A on them.
