Maybe the reasoning was this...?

They have two brains so they're two students learning.

They have one body so it's just one working

They presumably issued two degrees.  

But this seems so fucking stupid.  They could only take one class at a time. 

Surely a better school could have cut them a deal.

Presumably they also had to only fill out one exam or write one paper as cheating would be effectively impossible to prevent as well.

I read something about them recently and I'm pretty sure they did most if not all of it separately. Their brains are separate and they each control an arm so they can read and write separately but at the same time. They are able to coordinate to type.

I wonder how much they're able to read each other's thoughts. Being able to type sentences with their two separately controlled hands requires more than physical coordination. They seem like lovely people and I'm not trying to be rude but having watched the documentary it did kind of seem like one of them is more in charge and the other is following her lead (don't remember which is which).

There's no biology to support mindreading - but they would have had a lifetime of seeing what the other one chose to do in every second of every situation basically.
