CoE Grade Deflation?

<p>I’ve heard that the CoE practices grade deflation; a student on a Cornell panel we attended recently said that one of his courses was curved to a C+, for instance. Does anyone here have experience with Cornell’s CoE, who could speak to this?</p>

<p>Yes, CoE practices grade deflation. I was recently highlighted in the Cornell Daily Sun.</p>

<p>As far as I’m concerned grade deflation in Cornell itself is a myth. Most courses in CoE are curved to a B+/B, so I really do not see any grade deflation. It is also very rare for any course to be curved to a C+ or lower, and if there is any such course, many people would avoid it.</p>
