[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northwestern, Emory, Vanderbilt[/quote] Northwestern is definitely not laid back in the math department. I once got a 94 on a math exam that was curved to a B-.[/quote] This is so wrong. The grade should correlate to the work, not the other people in the room. I hate curving. Sorry for your experience. [/quote] If you dislike being graded on a curve, then you should consider the honors colleges / programs at large state public universities.[/quote] Grading on curve should only be used to Help students (ie the average/mean is low). If everyone earns 92%+, then everyone should get an A. In reality at a place like Northwestern, everyone is really smart, so it's very possible for all students to learn the material and do well. Shouldn't be penalized. Had a few courses like that when I attended and yes, everyone got As. Because everyone learned the material. [/quote]
