=================================================================
A number of the Profs I had hated final exams as much or
more than the students. After all, they often had to grade
them.
But the University insisted that there be finals. So many
of the courses were structured in such a way that you had all
your points made and the final counted for little or nothing.
And I did get one "Why ?" The correct answer was "Because".
