Not since grade school has my grade ever been a reflection of more than assignments and test and quiz scores. Actually, that's not exactly true, participation was a part of my grade in "speech" my first year at K-State. Come to think of it, at K-State you had an option to get credit for a course by testing out of it. If you started a class and found it easy and didn't see the point in going they had a test you could take as a pass/fail credit.
I don't think manipulating grades based on behavior is really very common (at least, in my experience). I suppose other schools and other teachers might be different.
