<p>I'm not too clear on each definition, could someone please define these terms? possibly provide examples from your own college/some colleges out there? thank you!</p>
<p>Grade inflation means that it is easier to get an A, grade deflation means it is harder to get a good grade.</p>
<p>In a grade inflated class, 60% of the students might receive an A, and not a single person fail as long as they show up. This is bad because it makes the A meaningless.</p>
<p>In a grade deflated class, 10% of the class might get an A. Consequentially, some bright and hard-working students will get a B just because they couldn’t beat the curve.</p>
<p>in general, how about bio/chem classes? Are they usually inflated or deflated?</p>
<p>will other colleges know, for grad school for example, if the university you attended inflated or deflated grades? Wouldn’t everyone want inflated classes?</p>
