Evolving is correct. In some cases the curve boosts students, in others it deflates them. Typically, only 20% of students are allowed to get an A in some of the intro classes, 20% B’s etc. That means if 30% of students EARNED an A, only 20% will receive an A, the other 10% will be knocked down to a lower grade. Of course, the opposite is true as well. If only 10% earn an A, 10% will be knocked up from a lower grade to an A.
