Re: Grade Inflation (Was: Student Evaluations of Teaching)



Give each of them $ bonuses for keeping award expenses
within a desirable range. Or penalize them according to
departures from that range. But first the public at large

yearly grades of B+ and above. Administrators would fight
the grade inflation to balance finances.
