Harvard faculty are voting on a proposal to cap A grades to reduce grade inflation and improve grading consistency.
What If Everything We 'Know' Is Backward? The research analyzed over 13,000 graduates and found something that should fundamentally change how we think about transfer credit evaluation: 98.5 percent of transfer credits are successfully transferred (the authors use the term "articulated"). More importantly, transfer and nontransfer students accumulate extra credits at nearly identical rates. If transfer credit loss were the primary driver of excess credits, we'd expect to see significant differences between these populations. We don't.
