The math exam seemed much more humane. We had ten problems and were told to do six, our choice. Anything else we did would be extra credit.
In the classical mechanics exam, we also had 1.8 the amount we could finish in the alloted time, but we were told to complete all of it. We worked in a sweaty frenzy. But in the end, we didn't finish, and the mean score, percentage-wise, will probably be the same as the overall math score (seeing as the target was 60% for math).
And then the scores are curved so that the average value is a C+/B-, etc. So the end result is the same, right? But somehow, we all came out of the math exam with a warm fuzzy, and came out of Classical Mechanics feeling like we'd just gotten a drubbing.
Interesting, no?

The way the professor giving tests reveals his personality. Who is more easy-going?
You studied and did what you could, now enjoy the white snowy world and the crisp clean air.
