this would be true if the course was graded on a curve, but the article makes clear that
> the course grades are not curved.
- fcbrooklyn 11y agoDoesn't matter if there's a curve. Your grades are still only meaningful compared to your classmates. (ok, assuming you're not in danger of actually failing the class)
- s73v3r 11y agoNo they're not. They have nothing to do with your classmates. It's not a competition.
- swang 11y agoThe only time you care about your classmate's grade is when it is being graded on a curve. I couldn't care less about other people's grades.
- deelowe 11y agoThe only time I cared about classmates' grades is when there was a curve. Adjusting a 92 to be the threshold for a 4.0 is a curve BTW. A lot of schools dont do this.
