<p>In some classes the breakdown is given ahead of time, although that’s only happened to me in math classes so far. For other classes, the professors tell me when I am afraid of being on the verge of failing. I don’t think they say much when students are asking about what an A is though, at least this is what I hear from my friends. I’ve never asked myself, I feel like it’s in bad taste, just do the best you can and don’t worry (unless you are failing) about the numbers.</p>
<p>Also, quite a few classes, more than I thought there would be, have normalized grades. It doesn’t really generate competition though.</p>
