The bell curve has bitten my ass a few times (got a 90 but it got me a C), but also saved it (got a 30 but it got me a C). It's weird and I don't like it.

That's how the American grading system works? That's just beyond stupid!

why is that stupid. If the test was easy and a 90 was only an average grade compared to other performance why is that a bad system. Would you prefer a system that allows for everyone to get a 90+?

 

If tests are too easy, make them harder instead of using stupid grading systems.

oh, I did not realize they did it within each class there. Most of my classes they agregated the scores between classes and if the test did not change they kept the scores.
