Hi,
I took an upper division psychology in the area of pathology (transnational relationship with family, relationships, and disorders i.e autism, depression, bipolar etc.)
This class in the past 8 years thought by the same prof. the curve was 33-40% of students earn an A depending on the year. The syllabus did not contain what percentage was required to earn this grade, just a break down of the percentage of exams, assignments and participation.
In my year, the curve was that 10% received an A. However, physics curve is about 16% A.
My question is: Can prof. curve at their pleasure and curve much differently than previous years and screw you over?
I still did well and earned an A- in this course and wanted to know if its worth challenging it? I feel its my only fake grade.
