My calc I class in college had a 23% average on the first exam. Later ones made it into the high 30%s. The professor was terrible, but since I had already taken calc in high school and he graded on a curve it was a breeze.

The main problem was that he would test for the stuff we had not covered yet because he "wanted people to work ahead."

Now that's an asshole move.

“wanted people to work ahead”

Ah yes “not fucking doing my job that people are taking loans out for and pay off for years to come”

Fuck that “professor.” A college degree is an overpriced commodity and they are falsely charging students by not teaching them the course

It's fine to give points for "extra work", but the regular work should give you a passing grade at least. The extra work should maybe give you the difference between a 6 or an 8.
