btw, what were the point values for grades mentioned? everything before college broke down as : 0-69=F, 70-76=D, 77-84=C, 85-92=B, 93+=A
College was/is: 0-59=F, 60-69=D, 70-79=C, 80-90=B, 91+=A. Grades have always been a percentage of correct answers given, ie, 15 of 20 questions correct=75=D in highschool, C in college. Essay tests were graded based on the proff's assessment of the student's mastery of the subject given.
Pretty much, grades were given w/out much concern for how 'other' students did in the classroom. pretty cut and dry, really, so i'm not sure where a lot of the "only so many people in this class will get an A" comes from.
