My wife is getting her Master's in bioinformatics from a prestigious university. No joke on the day of the final exam her professor showed up to class 25 minutes late and said he only had one copy of the exam because the photo-copier wasn't working. Everyone got A's. And there is no accountability.

And if you aren't passing, your prof. will also quietly suggest to you early on that you drop it and take it again a bit down the road. This was my experience in masters & phd level math courses, at least.
