funny...but i've had similar exams where the teacher's philosophy was that grades don't matter...

Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball

Sounds like a good gpa inflater.

the test is factual - the course was worth 1 credit

I'd be curious to see what kind of scores the students got on the test. If these are the same kinds of people that can't point out Canada on a map....

That BLOWS MY MIND.

That's just fucking pathetic. No wonder I think so little of people of come out of UGA. That kind of class is just like a weightlifting class, put there to guarantee jocks an A. Just one more thing wrong with this world.

well if its geared towards coaching etc.
then the class itself might have some value to basketball players.
