So how does this compare to Harvard, where students expect an automatic A even without Covid-19?

- umvi 7y agoAt least at HLS there's not such thing as an 'A'. You can get an F, LP, P, H, or DS. DS is not equivalent to an A. DS is insanely hard to get. The professor can only give like 1 or 2 students in the entire class DS so you basically have to be top gun to consistently get DS.
- ebg13 7y agoHarvard College (the university's undergraduate arm) definitely gives As. Law schools are vocational programs. I'm not surprised it works differently there.

- ebg13 7y agoObnoxious entitlement? Social pressure? Historical precedent? Why questions can't really be answered. But if you give someone a well-deserved B they cry in your office and then hammer you in their end-of-semester course review.
- hackandtrip 7y agoI asked as a complete ignorant on American grade practices, and your answer differs completely from my (EU) experience - especially because we give reviews before exam sessions.
