i know of curving, but I don’t get how this scaling stuff works. How would they make an 85 into a 73? I mean they can’t just lower grades just to lower grades because if I’m not mistaken professors on the syllabus give out the grading rubric for the course and tell you how much tests, paper, hw, attendance, etc. is worth. So it’s not like the professor can screw you over because you should know how he got his grade.
