Harvard faculty vote to cap 'A' grades at 20% in sweeping effort to combat decades of grade inflation
Thoughts? There’s discourse and complaint on both sides, some Professors who feel it is not fair that some students who “earn” a grade won’t get it. Personally, I think this is great and universities throughout the country should adopt this method. It’s the method we go through in Law School, anyways, and it would eventually help a lot of mental health issues surrounding grades when everyone was a straight-A student in undergrad.
A lot of us never got a grade under a B+ in undergrad, or worked hard for a 4.0 GPA, Summa Cum Laude, etc. Coming into law school most people assume they can continue that trend, and as we know, it’s virtually impossible to maintain undergrad performance in Law School.
Personally, I really dislike grade inflation and I am all for it! I wonder what everyone thinks, and I’m interested to see how it will affect Law School’s if most undergrads adopt this method.
