Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A poor teacher who grades on a curve introduces both significant ability risk and significant environment risk. This is because the grading curve often favors students who performed poorly relative to their peers, rather than assessing their actual mastery of the material. This creates an unfair advantage for those who happen to be in a weaker class, and penalizes those who may have worked hard and understood the content, but are in a stronger class. Additionally, the grading curve may also disadvantage students who struggle with the subject matter due to variations in the difficulty of tests or assignments, which are outside of their control.
