[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The engineer whining on this thread is pretty hilarious. Engineering has long been famous for killer curves. Beyond that, even if they were right about engineering, not all STEM fields are "criterion based." Math and physics in particular reward brilliance and wizardry in seeing beyond the textbook. Maybe we could all learn something from pure math.[/quote] Yes there are always curves. But if everyone earns a 90%+ they should get an A. And if everyone gets between 25 and 40% that is on the prof and I'd argue they should get As and Bs. Stem grad in curve because many profs don't teach the material. Had that many times in engineering/math at top10 college. Where the highest score was a 38, you'd take the exam and have no clue what was happening because the prof was terrible and put questions unrelated to the course (calc3, not an advanced course).
