| Abstract | The purpose of the study was to investigate grading patterns at Indiana University at two points in time to ascertain whether or not grade inflation had occurred. Grades were compared in classes that were taught by the same professors and were of the same size in 1970-71 and 1975-76. The ability level of the students was statistically controlled. Evidence was found of grade inflation. Grades in the same classes taught by the same professors were significantly higher in 1975-76 despite the fact that the students' average SAT scores were significantly lower. One of the most conspicuous changes in the grading pattern over the five-year period was the significant increase in the percent of W's awarded. (Author/MSE) |
