<p>Right, it makes sense that effort and appropriate work is necessary to get good grades. After all, the amount of work you put into something should correlate to the grade you receive. Still, I was wondering if most professors hand out only a certain number of A’s, thus allowing only the math/science prodigies to receive the A’s and the others who, while still excellent science students, receive B’s and C’s simply because there are virtually no A’s left.</p>
