Oh yeah... I forgot about my philosophy professor.

In a philosophy class, you should be free to argue any side of an issue and be graded on the quality of your arguments, regardless of whether the professor agrees with your viewpoint. Right?

Wrong. We had to submit weekly papers, and it wasn't long before I discovered that if you wrote a paper agreeing with the professor's own views, you got a full letter grade higher than if you disagreed. So I started writing papers agreeing with him, even though I fundamentally disagreed with him, just to get through the class.
