Higher (?) Education

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.
