Yeah that's probably more accurate. I was going to argue that it was arbitrary, and it is to a degree....but I'm sure there is a method to the madness...it's just that no one ever told me what it is.thesealocust wrote:
I think the bottom and top of the curve isn't arbitrary, but its gooey middle... arbitrary isn't quite the right word, but it approaches it. I think that the process of grading isn't arbitrary at all, it's just that we don't know well enough how it works in advance.
I love Andre. He got me through college.Kohinoor wrote:No year is that good. Let me tell you about my friend, Andre.ak362 wrote:Might have been for a good year?Corsair wrote:

Grading requires a combination of two entirely different metrics: How many "points" you earn on a test (and what your professor counts as a "point"), and how everyone else in your class did on the same test. It feels arbitrary, I think, because tests where you feel like you did well have the potential for everyone to do well, bunching up the curve and sticking you in the middle, whereas tests where you feel like you did poorly are probably the real son-of-a-bitch tests where everyone actually does poorly and you can separate yourself by just having a few more points than everyone else. As a result you feel disoriented, because the metric you're used to comparing everything to (your own performance) can't actually tell you much about what grade you're able to get.prezidentv8 wrote:Yeah that's probably more accurate.

Yeah, that's true, and I'm not a fan of a curved system, but that's a completely separate thing from what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the advance-notice thing. Combining that with a curve isn't exactly arbitrary, but it doesn't seem like tests have quite so much to do with actually learning anything either. It is what it is, and I'll play the game, but that doesn't mean it's not kinda stupid.vanwinkle wrote:Grading requires a combination of two entirely different metrics: How many "points" you earn on a test (and what your professor counts as a "point"), and how everyone else in your class did on the same test.

I remember talking to my prof about grades after our (thankfully ungraded) midterm. It was a bloodbath. I identified many issues but got the analysis completely backwards on most of them, and had a huge gaping hole in a couple places, and still got a B+. The prof told me even the A and A+ answers weren't very good at all, they were just better than everyone else's.
That's kind of the way exams are. The curve changes everything. You could completely nail a test and get a B+ if everyone else nails it too, which sucks.
Well, I meant to the extent that a 1L is going to be capable of in 3 hours. You walk out feeling satisfied, you can't think of anything you missed right away off the top of your head, you feel confident you did the best you could... and then in the hallway you start hearing everyone else saying the exact same thing, and you realize their excelling will nullify yours, and develop the urge to start buying liquor in bulk direct from the bottler.thesealocust wrote:Anything can happen - but I think it's extremely rare that everyone nails a law school exam.
