The thing I observed at Cal many, many years ago is that the hard rank based grading led to a somewhat unpleasant atmosphere among the undergrads to put it mildly.

This was definitely not my experience in Cal MSE major classes many years ago, but more so in a handful of Lower Div classes.

eta: I guess I’m suggesting that there may be 2 dynamics to assess: Lower Div vs Upper Div (in the major department.)
