My control systems Professor was lenient at grading, keeping the class average at a C. He taught well, but however had to shift to another university before the second semester of that year. The other half of my batch had to deal with the second professor whose mean grade was a D. I think a Professor, in this way could perhaps make a large impact on a student's grades. Perhaps even on the grades of an entire batch of students. | |

A motivated student can leave a class with a "bitter A", turned off from a topic he is talented in, because the professor and he didn't click. Not that you can click with every student (or faculty member). | |
