Very interesting

>if you didn’t do any then you might be punished (eg made to wait a year before returning) even if you do ok in exams.

These are the rules I do not understand and find counterproductive, but your uni seems much more lax.

>you should find some harder classes

I have done this already.

>although they mightn’t be much help

Thanks for trying to help, but you are right, nothing would change, I am almost done with Uni so I'm about to put it behind, but I feel entitled to criticizing how inefficient it is, when a math class has 3 tests during the course of 4 months and they can be passed by studying for 4 days before each test without attending class, then it feels too silly and wasteful to me, but I have no choice but to put up with it.
