Why wouldn't it be?
Colton Smith
Because it means a typical student only learned 54% of the material covered for that exam. And at the end of the semester, somehow 54% will equate to roughly a C+ or maybe even a B-, indicating that the student has a working knowledge of organic chemistry which is clearly not true.

Because they let so many brainlets into colleges now.

Then the issue is grade inflation, not the average.

I got memed into thinking euros were smarter..... I’m studying in the uk... granted it’s not a great uni (can probably locate it if the pic has metadata) but considering how contemptuous everyone is towards Americans and how I didn’t even attend any lectures for this statistics test...
Coursework is the same difficulty as the USA except anything over a 40% is considered not only passing but acceptable... meanwhile in the USA anything below a 90% is hardwired into my brain to feel like shit
Here’s a pic of the fucking test

sometimes the class just does relatively well, even in orgo. just because the average was a 54 doesn't mean that the test was too easy.
Jackson Collins
True, but I feel like this happens at many universities
74. The highest score was in the 90s but that person was the only one in the 90s

Why do we allow engineers with class averages in the 30s-40s to graduate
