[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you do a google search "is grade inflation a problem at UK universities" you will find the answer you seek in various UK publications. (Spoiler: the answer is "yes.")[/quote] This is a true statement. But the reaction of UK universities was to voluntarily return to “harsher” grading standards than to follow the US reaction and make “A”s the norm. You are seeing a return to the top 5th to a quarter of the students graduate in undergrads with firsts. Then about half the class with 2:1s and the remainder with 2:2s or below. [/quote]
