Under the current grading system; some professors use small sections to go deeper into material covered in class, but warn students they will be graded on a different curve than other members of the section. Other professors inform students that the small section will not discuss material covered in class, since that would give members of the small section an advantage in taking the final exam.

Ithiel de Sola Pool, professor of Political Science at M.I.T., works at the social problem solving firm Simulmatics for a minimum annual consulting fee of $5000. Under certain circumstances, he gets $100 a day. Last year Pool headed a secret program at Simulmatics for the Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency, trying to figure...
