[speaker001:] Did you ever take History 231?
[speaker002:] Yeah. Last semester.
[speaker001:] Who was the professor?
[speaker002:] It was Professor Johnson.
[speaker001:] I have him this semester. What do you think about him?
[speaker002:] He's a terrible instructor and demands a lot, but fortunately, he's an easy grader.
[speaker001:] What did you end up getting?
[speaker002:] I got an A. Sounds good, but none of my test scores were that high, so I don't know how I got a decent grade.
[speaker001:] That's probably because he grades on a curve.
[speaker002:] Are you enjoying the class so far?
[speaker001:] I hate it and I was about to withdrawal. But after hearing your experience, I think I will tough it out.
[speaker002:] Yes. Definitely stay in the class. You will get a better grade than your test scores. He does that deliberately to make all the students study a lot.
[speaker001:] Thanks for letting me know. I feel relieved now.
