[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anybody who does A work needs to get an A on their transcript. Doing otherwise means the grades are meaningless. What grades others get has nothing to do with my grade. [/quote] Most people do not produce true A work. The average grade should be a 3.0. Only those very much above average should get a 4.0. Grade inflation is bad for everyone [/quote] It doesn't seem anyone on here thinks students who don't deserve C's should get A. So you're missing the point. If most people do not produce A work (as you suggest), then don't give the damn A. And that doesn't matter if they are at Harvard or a T200 school. It should have nothing to do with quotas. I'd be fine with professors giving zero A's, or all A's, if that is what the students deserve. [/quote]
