[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The grading on a curve is not “deflation”, it only seems harsh in comparison to the grade inflation at other ivies. It’s normal at many state schools that are ranked lower so it’s not simply an elitist or hierarchal issue. Princeton (and ivies in general) do not seem to attract many tougher, resourceful, and resilient students. [/quote] Except at a big state school your gen Chem class isn’t comprised of all valedictorians…..you can’t compare a curve at Princeton to one at Alabama [/quote] +1000 You already have Top Students, who logically could all do well in a class. And logically, if the scores range from 40-95%, but the median is 50%, then there are a few outliers at the top, but 50% should be B/B+ work easily. And the 40 might be B-/C+. The fact a few outliers managed a much higher score should not penalize the bulk of the class. [/quote] I’m hearing about medians closer to 35 than 50 percent.[/quote]
