<p>Math profs seem to claim that they curve based on a fixed distribution provided by the math department. Anyone have info on what this distribution specifically is?</p>
<p>Something like a minimum of 25% A range, 28% B range.</p>
<p>Based on my professor for 31B and 32A (same dude), he said that half would get B’s. The rest would fall into the “ranges” to resemble a bell curve.</p>
<p>16% of the class gets A/A-</p>
<p>Usually top 55-60% of the class would get a B- or higher for math classes. Not really sure on the amount of A’s/A-'s…</p>
<p>yeah most of the students are week in maths and they are also in underestimated to because the good student take “a” grade but the second one who is not good in that subject is automatically see him/her self down and think like that "in know he/she take position so why i make my self work in this subject???"so in that case mostly students are make there self stay out from studies…</p>
<p>Do math professors take into consideration the fact that some TAs grade harder than others? Because the median and mean on our first homework assignment was 18/20 for the whole lecture but when I was getting my homework today in discussion I saw a lot of 13s and less and I was one of maybe one or two that was actually above the mean (19/20).</p>
<p>Usually lower div math classes have outside graders for the homework. It seems unlikely that you would consistently have an appreciably harder grader doing your homework.</p>
<p>Oh ok, I guess I just have a dumb discussion section.</p>
