Cornell use to have pdf files of the median grades of all classes. Sadly as you all know, they have taken those down. I was wondering if anyone had saved those files from any of their years there.

Thanks

General Guideline (there are some exceptions, depending on the professor): Large lecture-based intro classes usually have medians in the B range, and upper-level classes typically have medians in the low A range. The only exception I can think of are some of the humanities courses, which frequently have medians in the A-range (again, there are definitely exceptions to this depending on the prof.).

How about FWS courses typical averages?

You know, median grades are actually really tricky imo. For me, some of the hardest / most workload intensive classes I have taken had high historical medians (B+ to A-) range while some much easier classes were in like the B- range.
FWS averages go from B- to A-, but the workload/difficulty of those courses is pretty darn crappy in general (a lot of work).
