btw, there was an idea how to grade students' works... usually the grade is
linearly proportional to the amount of stuff done correct.
but you may make it nonlinear. this way students can end up with higher
grades on average and they'll be glad about that but you will be the only
one who knows what those grades mean and how really stupid students are :)
funny idea, isn't it?
