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

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>Would you prefer getting a B while everyone else fails, like in my last examples? It seems not…</p>

Also, Majjestic, you clearly believe that your professors are incapable of doing their jobs now, so why should it be different when they are your colleagues?

<p>If you state they’re incompetent at doing their jobs, what makes you sure that they’ll be competent in grading (since it is, after all, part of their job)?</p>
