Harvard Grade Inflation

[Anonymous]

Harvard is leading the way striking a good balance between tougher grading and inquisitive learning. Remember those students had straight As in high schools. They are getting Bs at Harvard for the first time. If you ask the students, there’s no grade inflation.

Because we still need smart humans to do things correctly when AI hallucinates eloquent but wrong answers?

The problem is ‘smart’ humans are not at Harvard. Harvard has students who are good at getting in.. playing their game, jumping through hoops, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are ‘smart’.

Sounds exactly like the type of person who gets a good job.

Also sounds like the kind of person who launches a pyramid scheme or founds a blood testing company and fakes success without the requisite knowledge or skills.

Again, this a thread full of people who don’t have a student at Harvard. Your antidotal points are irrelevant

There’s a lot of overlap with those people, smart lawyers, and investment bankers. One just happens to be more acceptable than the other.

Grade inflation has been a significant problem at Harvard for over two decades. The dropped the Dean’s List (https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2002/10/28/the-end-of-the-deans-list/ ) in 2002 because only 8% percent of students were not qualifying. Now it would probably only be 0.08% not qualifying.
