I am currently weighing the pros and cons of the absolute grading system versus the relative grading system (grading on a curve). I would love to hear your insights, experiences, and academic perspectives on this. Specifically, how do these systems impact student motivation, fairness, stress levels, and cooperation among peers in rigorous STEM fields? Which system do you personally prefer, either as a student or as an educator, and why?
If you use relative system so average must fit in 60-65%, now you get every year have same average grade, but every generation is different...So what is point of this, how can you judge how this generation is bad or good if every year you have same grades?
here are some links about problems in grading systems:
