چکیده

Abstract


This paper analyzes the effects of a grade ceiling policy on grade distributions and course evaluations. Results show that the effects vary based upon the level of the grade ceiling. A ceiling set at 2.8 decreased overall grade point average (GPA) by reducing the number of As and Bs and increasing the number of lower grades given. This low ceiling also increased the number of withdrawals and significantly lowered course evaluations. A ceiling set at 3.2 decreased overall GPA by reducing the number of As and increasing the number of Bs given, but the effects on course evaluations were smaller in magnitude and insignificant.

5. Discussion


With ever increasing grade inflation, we are likely to see more grade ceiling policies imposed. This paper provides insight into how these ceilings will impact the distribution of student grades. While higher ceilings ease the bunching of grades only at the top of the distribution, lower ceilings can further spread the distribution into the C range and below. The change in withdrawals suggests that lower ceilings may also prevent “shopping” for more lenient classes. These grade ceiling policies also provide a useful identification tool to evaluate the impact of grades on student evaluations.
