I'm always amazed at how many reddit professors view grades like this. Shouldn't grades be solely an assessment of how well the student has mastered the topic?

True, it's now or 2035 😅 although tbh I don't even think the aurora is the most fascinating thing. It's actually the regular light. Must be the low angle of the sun or something, but the regular colours of the sky are something else here. (This is a particularly good morning the other day)
