I agree about moving to pass/fail, if the bar to pass is moved up a bit. I went to a school with relatively low grade inflation and I would say any I didn't really have a good understanding of a class unless I got a B or higher, barring some mathematical oddities (e.g. 50% of grade determined by one test). I suppose it depends on the professor's philosophy of what a test should be as well. If the test is intended to make students stretch their knowledge then it might be OK to make a C. That would mean you understand what was covered in class but couldn't make the next intuitive leap on the test. However, most tests I took weren't like that. Anyone who understood the material should have been able to make at least a B.
