@cobrat Wait? Social sciences used to give low grades where when you went to school? Was it recent? Because today, if you have even decent writing skills, many such instructors will give solid grades. I’ve only encountered a couple of instructors with a distribution of grades in a class where students were pretty much doing the work. In most social science courses today, it seems like lack of effort is usually the cause of a less than A/A- grade, not a lack of knowledge. You can get away with quite a few things. If anything, writing quality and ability separates the grades.
