Default Re: I got a B in a class I attended twice.

what class? My guesses (in order) are: PoliSci / Econ / History / English

My "got a good grade with minimal effort" story:
had a roomate in college who was a poli-sci major and insisted that his major was more difficult than my Bio major due to all the reading. I assured him he was full of crap and we agreed to take one lower level / intro class from the other persons major (filled electives for us anyhow). We took the classes together.
I attended 2 lectures, did 1/4 of the reading and got an A. He got a B in the class. When I asked him what he wrote his term paper about he told me that he disagreed with the professor's position on some hot topic of the day. I laughed, gave him my term paper (I got an A, he got a C) that was 4 pages shorter, had fewer references, less defense of my position -- my position just happened to agree with the professors.

There is a hole in a wall of that apartment as evidence of the event.
