Let's push it to the extreme. Let's say there are 100 students in a class, and one of them is an absolute ace due to knowing the material or having a very solid framework. Should the other 99 people in the class get relatively bad scores at the end of the term? Is that a working system?

Classes should be far more granular and far shorter (e.g. two weeks) so that people of the same skill level can be so-grouped.
