No I’ve absolutely had a few classes where the average raw score was a 60% so it’s not a myth. However, the professors went into the courses with the intention of normalizing the grades at the end. You’ll find that the average grade in a course (with a few exceptions) tends to hover very close to the average GPA of the students taking that course. For instance, if a particular section has an average GPA of 2.6, the average course grade will end up being close to a 2.6. How hard do you have to work? If you go to lecture and recitation, do all of the homework honestly, and study for a few days before the test, most students find they do quite well at Tech.
