Almost every college and university course I took would curve grades to adjust for difficulty. I’ve even had professors tell me that top scorers in a test were only expected to get x% of questions correct.
- shagie 5y agoI recall calc 2 exam that I had... It was a rather hard exam and I left with a bit of a "meh" feeling to how well I did on it. The professor handed back the exam the next lecture with the percent on it. I was looking at a 50% on my exam. This was a Tuesday Thursday class (rather than MWF) and so was an hour and a half long. I'm staring at my exam thinking "F, maybe a D, hope I got a C, I'd settle for a D, probably an F... hope I got a C" all through the lecture. Just before the bell rang, the professor wrote the curve on the chalkboard. * 100 - 75 : A * 50 - 75 : B I don't remember any of the rest... I was stuck on "I got a B!" As I left, my TA congratulated me for getting a B.
