The problem is, the other students earned their grades as well. It is wrong to deny them of a passing grade when they understand the material to a level that the professor deems sufficient.</p>
<p>Why do you keep insisting on relying on a completely arbitrary grading system that cannot account for wide discrepancies in test difficulty? </p>
<p>Suppose you have two test scores of 70/100. One is for an exam in a “physics for poets” course where most people could already pass before even setting foot into the class. Another is for a upper division quantum mechanics course. Should the result be the exact same grade? Does that reflect equivalent amounts of understanding and proficiency in the respective courses?</p>
