Mike,

Wow.  1 in 25.

It has been suggested to me before that this is a real problem.  We may 
want to teach at a high level, and try to motivate our students to learn 
the material, but at the end of the day many students only want to pass.  I 
find this very depressing, although it does explain poor grade 
distributions despite my best efforts... you can lead some students to the 
classroom, but you can't make them want to learn....
