The grading scale was totally different in grad school. You would be on probation for 1 C, and expelled from the program if you got a total of 2 Cs during your tenure. A C was equivalent to an F, and they just weren't given unless a student really, really stunk.

In my tax courses the emphasis was on reading and then analyzing together, rather than lecture. I am sure that is different depending on what you study.

My grad school exams were much more comprehensive than undergrad - anything you "should" have known at that point was fair game, whether it was covered in that class or not.

Now, my elective classes that fell under the MBA umbrella were totally different. They were all marshmallow group projects with a presentation and/or paper due. I hated those touchy-feely classes.

By the way, my graduate degree was a Masters of Science in Taxation from the University of Tulsa. It fell partially under the business school and partially under the law school, so our electives (non-Tax courses) had to be taken from the MBA and JD programs.
