Teachers often have such high pressure for giving good grades that they tend
to assign a fair amount of easy work, or a fair amount of extra credit work,
so the student can "earn" an A in the course even though the in-class exams
are only passed at the B or C level. In general, this motivates any student
willing to play the "busy-work" game... and I think this is more often
females than males.
