Dear professor,

I imagine you've gotten a few emails already concerning the difficulty of the exam we just had. I was really disappointed, as I payed attention for most of the class, and even did quite well on the mid-term exam, but I doubt that I did very well on the exam at all. I noticed many of the questions were plain unfair and relied solely on memorization rather than actual understanding. I don't understand why you'd make the exam so much harder than the mid-term. I was very confident going into the exam, but I'm really just not sure anymore. You say that 2009's 2CA3 was actually a mistake, but compared to this class, that exam was a piece of cake. I'm really hoping you'll consider bell-curving this course.

Sincerely, Jaime Arseneault
