<p>When I was in college the entire sequence of architectural history classes were also grad school classes at the School of Design. The requirements were the same. I also took an urban planning class - the undergrads wrote one less paper than the grads. I also took a number of grad level seminars - one in French, one in Chinese painting there may have been others. I don’t believe I was ever in a class with different curves for the same requirements though. Especially not one that would favor the theoretically more experienced students. That strikes me as odd.</p>
