<p>Then it’s probably that your school or department has a lot of hard grading. For example, see the grade distribuition at GaTech and UNC:</p>
<p>[Grade</a> Distribution - Georgia Tech | Institutional Research and Planning](<a href=“http://www.irp.gatech.edu/self-service-apps/grade-distribution/]Grade”>http://www.irp.gatech.edu/self-service-apps/grade-distribution/)

<p>While several subjects such as mathematics and physics have a median GPA of about 2.6~2.9, the average overall GPA of the universities is about a 3.1, which indicates a B or B+. Plus, it’s not that students are more motivated. </p>

<p>According to the data above, students are studying less and less; the average hours students spent studying has dropped to nearly half of what it was decades ago. Plus, I really doubt that the huge influx of college students is what is driving the mean grade up. The majority of college-bound students at my school aren’t really scholarly-like, to put it mildly.</p>
