What is a sliding grading scale?

A sliding scale rubric is a rubric whose proficiency expectations change over time.

Why grading on a curve is bad?

Grading on a curve has long been disputed in the academic world, just as weighting scores have. The main benefit to using the curve is that it fights grade inflation: if a teacher doesn’t grade on a curve, 40% of her class could get an “A,” which means that the “A” doesn’t mean very much.

Can grading on a curve hurt you?

Yet, like I just said, there is almost always at least 1 student who will earn a near perfect score and so the ‘curve’ doesn’t change the grading scale much if at all. So where the curve doesn’t directly hurt them (like the bell curve might) the psychological cost of counting on a curve that doesn’t arrive is damaging.

What is a good class average?

If the class is graded on a scale, 60% (of 100) could be average, or it could 80% (of 100). Typically, the norm is in the middle which is considered average, like the proverbial bell shape curve, where (approximately) half or 50% of the students are average (statistically). Others have given solid answers.
