During my time as a TA, there was a big fuss about on case when a professor decided not to grade a particularly bad class on a curve and failed half the students. When pressed for explanation, he just shrugged and said - "well, the class was bad". From what I heard the professor was right. This was Computer Science and the course was one of the earlier ones that serve to weed out people who'd be better off doing something else.<br/><br/>I'd imagine that if a failure to grade on a curve worked against this guy, he'd sue for curves. This is just too funny. Curves have been around forever and most students like them.

You piss a professor off, act like a know-it-all-PITA during class, and you'd be a fool to think it won't somehow bleed into your grade. The TA was far more dispassionate with a larger class size, I'm sure.<br/><br/>How this maladjusted, mollycoddled individual thinks that this BS won't adversely impact his law school entrance chances more than that "C" is beyond me. He should just forget the LSAT and live out his destiny being that grumpy old man on the porch yelling at the kids to get off his grass.

Law school grading is ENTIRELY based on a curve. If this is an attempt to make himself more attractive to law schools as a clever, litigious geezer, he is sorely mistaken. No law school will want someone like this in their student body.

When I was in med school, there was a man in my class that was 47.

He also argued every grade, taking his case to the dean’s office on more than one occasion.

Who is going to hire a 51 year old resident, or a 51 year old man who just graduated law school?

There ought to be an age limit – why should these complainers get take someone else’s slot?
