This idea is predicated on the idea the higher grades are a result of better performances by the student. According to former duke professor Christopher Healy and Stuart Rojstaczer, collegiate students are starting to obtain higher grades than in previous years.

The second theory is that as our cultural ideas of success leads us to the assumption that a grade less than an A is a failure, that teachers and professors have begun grading more leniently to encourage more students to receive high marks. This is a problem for three reasons. Firstly, raising average GPA’s allow less differentiation between different levels of students; in an easy course a genius student will receive the

Is Grade Inflation Truly The Biggest Issue?          Grade inflation, the belief that students are receiving grades that they haven’t worked for and therefore don’t deserve. But what’s so wrong about grade inflation? When learning about this subject we also open the doors to learning about the multitude of other problems plaguing our educational system that could use our attention much more than grade inflation does. Through grade inflation we’re able to understand problems often forgotten about

Having grades gives a kinda comfort for me because I have something solid; it is a system so it does not change. After reviewing a few essays on grading systems,  the majority of them tend to be against having the letter system. One of the documents I read, “How Three Schools Buck the

No matter whether they are in high school, college or university, every single student should be careful of their grade standpoint. A student’s academic performance is reflected on their GPA and failure to upkeep grades and to pass a class is then resulted in an academic probation or suspension. Students will have to face the consequences of being unable to meet the minimum grade requirements of a college as it is necessary for students to be able to continue their major and to graduate.

With the increased focus on standards, it is imperative that schools begin to implement an effective grading system so that all students and parents are provided accurate feedback of students’ abilities. There are myriad unforeseen consequences when schools use the traditional grading system. For the past century, traditional grading practices and

As the number of student veterans continues to increase within the university system, it is imperative to examine both the similarities and the differences between student veterans and traditional students (students without military experience), and what effect those differences may have on student veterans’ ability to succeed. We surveyed thirty undergraduates at the University of Alaska Anchorage, assessing their grade point average, age, hours spent studying, and various other factors which we
