The Perverse Consequences of the Easy A (re: Grade Inflation at Harvard and Beyond)

@ucbalumnus

College instructors not bound by the US high school percentage to grade mapping are able to include a greater percentage of medium to hard difficulty questions relative to easy questions in order to better distinguish between C, B, and A students.

I don’t know enough to contradict this assertion..but the original article in this thread is about grade inflation at colleges too and does seem to contradict it, at least at the colleges it refers to.
