Sociology= The painstaking pursuit of the obvious.

An RA at my Fullerton State dorm in 1970 told the story of taking his first (and maybe only) sociology course. On the first day of class the students were administered the "final exam" and told that anyone who scored an A on the exam would be excused from the remainder of the classes and receive the A grade for the course. Mr. TA told us that the exam was common sense and he got an A. One of asked if that meant that sociologists or sociology majors don't have any common sense. Mr. TA went on to say that at the end of the semester he received an F. Consulting with the instructor and reminding same of the first day promise, TA was told that they had later changed the rules and included an attendance component in the grade.

All ways of grading show your point. (Giving an exam before giving the class, A on exam at first of class means no subsequent attendance needed, AND thinking they could change things in the middle of the class AFTER giving the exam and without notifying the whole class)

They ALL show the teaching assistant, and professor, and the rest of the entire class - have no common sense.
