as if grading on a curve weren't bad enough, teachers got too lazy to grade actual exams (question followed by blank page), and replaced them with multiple-guess true false maybe quizzes, than graded THOSE on a curve. i once gave my soph org class an exam that i was given when i was a soph in the 60s. they were in shock. they all got zero.

when anon was a grad student (35 yrs ago), one duty was grading exams for profs. recall an exam that was 200 points, and a class of roughly 160 or so students, IIRC. the prof gave a real exam (question followed by blank page). two thirds of the class got zero. the high score was a 39/200. the prof was the one that determined the "curve" and gave the letter grades. the 39/200 got an A. a C letter grade was 9/200. it has NOT gotten better.

sorry. you're talking to a scientist/engineer. "social sciences" should not even be in the curriculum offered in a university. if there is not one universally acknowledged correct answer, and all others answers wrong, then it's nothing more than bullshit opinion. sorry, not sorry.

>Just pointing out it goes other way, too.

well, in the first place, you're comparing apples and oranges. no one expects a single batch of steel to exhibit a bell curve of properties. they expect it to be exceedingly uniform. and they want each piece graded precisely, regardless of the distribution. so your "comparison" is more or less totally meaningless.

that's in contrast to the individual performances of a large group of students on an exam. they distribute themselves according to their abilities. and it's rarely a bell curve. in practice, we see an inverted bell curve more often than a bell curve. the class bifurcates into As and Fs, with a few Bs and Ds.

and btw, no prof was ever fired for giving all As. but giving all Fs gets you fired real quick. even if it's deserved, and even if you're tenured, they'll figure out a way to fire your ass.

same for broccoli. different genes for different taste buds.

on the other hand, i hated veggies as a kid but was forced to eat them. i learned to like them, and i now love them.

the current trend to blame everything on genes and then use it as an excuse for bad behavior has gotten out of hand.

we are all genetically programmed to murder. should we make it legal?

if people wormed themselves regularly, big pharma would lose 80% of their business. nearly everyone has parasites.

>a proper deuce is a sure sign of a functioning body.

ABSOLUTELY. that's part of traditional healing in EVERY culture on earth. logs should be large in diameter, solid, leave minimal skid marks on their way out.

spindly little turds no bigger around that a pinky finger are a sure sign of impacted bowels. too mushy no good. too hard no good. too smelly, no good. anyone not producing a proper manturd needs to attend to gut health.

oh, so you think spellcheck will make you a better speller? like elevators made you better at climbing stairs, or TV/movies made you better at reading books? put a healthy person in a wheelchair, and soon they won't be able to get out of it.
