eli5: How do classes that mark on a curve work?
In: 1
Smartest guy sets your new 100% (A grade)
Dumbest guy always gets an F
The average skill of everyone else determines how easy it is to move between letter grades
Essentially, you are graded in competition to your peers
This feels fair for hard classes where everyone eats shit, but tends to feel unfair for easier classes sometimes (especially in weeder classes)
