Sumario:This position paper defends the opinion that the distance of students to the professor in the classroom is directly related to their grades. This opinion is based on the results obtained in a large experiment performed during two academic years in various degrees, courses and semesters of two engineering schools. The experiment collected and processed data about the distribution of students in lectures and their final grades. Our results quantitatively confirm that grades can vary up to 14% depending on the distance to the professor.
