[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 428792, member: 2580"] I appreciate the clarification. I agree that curves can be a real pain. I've generally felt that a curve should be a temporary solution to a class whose average is too low and that if a class needs to be curved then the course material and presentation need to be reworked. Ideally, a class should have the desired grade distribution without a curve, but I've definitely experienced professors who used curves to hide the fact that no one in the class could absorb more than 40% of the information. I also think that a curve should never be implemented to artificially decrease the class average, but luckily I've only heard of that happening once, and it was a low-level econ course with plenty of other professors and sections.
