Finals
Classrooms are carefully engineered so you can sit anywhere and see the board.
This has the nifty side effect that, during an exam, the professor can sit near the board and still see everyone. So the professor can spend as much of the exam as she wants sitting down.
If a university wants all 15 sections of ODEs to take the same exam, they need to take it at the same time. If this means that they also need to take it in the same place, and that place is not a classroom, but rather an indoor running track filled with folding chairs, then there will be nowhere that the professors can sit and see all their students. So they will have to spend the entire exam standing up.
In related news, my feet and legs hurt and I am tired.
