I have had teachers try to grade on a strict bell curve distribution, but if your goal as a school is to accept promising talent then train them better you should expect your students to fall within a part of a bell curve and not spread across the whole damn thing.

Sorry, can't pass you cause my morals oblige me to give 2 As, and 2Fs, and I'm all out of everything but FS (no matter how many points you were away from someone with a better final grade).

Anon is just making a fake post. Literally no college would authorize this type of shit and I'd argue there could be grounds for a civil lawsuit if they did. Paying them tens of thousands of dollars and one of their professors admits to just auto failing students because there's too many in the class? Nah, I've attended 3 different schools before I graduated (I moved a lot), and every single one would drop you before class even began or within the first week if the class was too full.

If this did actually happen to OP, I can guarantee there's more to the story they're not telling us. But I'm going to assume it's made up or extremely exaggerated/altered.

Yeah, it's way too easy to prove that the exam was graded wrong. Given the economic incentives, some of the failed students are definitely going to sue if you're going to be that blatant about it.

IfIf the class is graded on the curve and you're on the bottom half of the curve you should get a refund
