The average GPA at Harvard is now 3.8

If the average is not 2.0, a C, then it is a joke (or a farce).

The rap at Hah-Vahd has always been that the stoodents there are all A stoodents, so they should get A’s.

Makes sense, huh?

When I started teaching (at the jr high level, not Harvard) we were issued a red grade book to record grades in. On the first page were descriptions of what each letter grade meant.

As you state C was to be average—student putting out average effort and doing enough to pass but not outstanding in any way.

A B was for students who exceeded course expectations, did more than what was expected of them. They were above average students.

And an A was for students who far exceeded the course’s and teacher’s expectations, i.e. exceptional students.

Obviously times and grades have changed.
