Why do professors scale marks and raise the marks of students that don't deserve it?

Two questions:</p>

<p>1.) Why do care? If you are as passionate about the material as you say you are, why do you care about the grades of others?

Because, it’s WRONG that I worked so hard to earn my grade while those students who barely worked at all were still able to pass the exam. </p>

2.) How are you harmed by this curve? If you have the highest grade, you will still get the highest mark, so why do you care?

That’s not the point. I worked hard to earn my grade, and if the other students worked just as hard, they wouldn’t need the curve to do well. People who barely passed with a 50 were curved up to a B-. Unless, of course, you believe in giving out grades for free? If that is the case, do not bother responding to my post.</p>
