[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did grades get SO inflated? A's (versus A-s and B+s) were still reasonably difficult to get 20 years ago. I graduated about 20 years ago and not a single person in my class had straight As (meaning they got all As and not a single A-; there were no A+ grades given so straight As is perfect).[/quote] Good question. I think it's lazy professors tbh. The more As, the less feedback they need to give. Or grad TAs giving lots of As to please students because they need good teaching evals.[/quote] Actually, no: the answer is serious entitlement on the part of students and their snowplow parents which starts way before college[/quote]
