So I'm taking a criminal justice course at my university and today was the last class meeting before exams, only about a third of the class showed up today. My professor did something amazing, which I will paraphrase:
Dr. W: Well, today's the last day of lecture before the exam, and only the best and brightest of you came today. Because of that, I will punish the rest of the class who didn't show. Now, how to do it?
Class: Study guide?
Dr. W: No, even if I could give out a study guide (against dept. policy), I'd have to give it to the whole class.
Class: Oh... 5 extra credit points on the final?
Dr. W: No, that won't do. *visibly starts pondering something for a couple of minutes*
Class: *Indistinct whispering*
Dr. W: I know what I'll do...
Class: ō-ō
Dr. W: I want you all to sign your name on a single sign-in sheet (he passes out two per class). I was impressed with all of your groups' presentations this semester, it's not often I'm impressed to that level. You all were go-getters and put in a lot of work into your presentations, so I'll make your final grade the same as your presentations' grades; you will not have to take the final. Anyone who did not show up today and could not sign their name on the roll will have to take the final.
