i would really believe that grading on a curve is up to the professor. i was just at UCI today and sat in on 2 lectures both in psychology. one professor said that 10% would get a’s, 15% b’s, 45% c’s, 15% d’s, and 15% f’s or something around there and because it was a subject wide thing. the next professor said he doesnt grade on a curve, he just grades based on past experiences, i.e. what was the typical curve for the past students would be the curve for the current class. contrary to what the previous professor said about having a strict guideline on grading. but yea… i would think that it’s ultimately up to your professor.
