Big curves (on tests) are good
But on the other hand, they basically mean that at least one of the following is true:
- The teacher has no concept of what the students are learning
- The teacher doesn't care enough to write a test appropriate to the level of learning
- The teacher enjoys making people think they have failed until they get their test back
None of which is a quality that I really look for in a teacher.
Still, given that one of the above is true, I'd much rather take the curve than not.
