[School] Elon University [Issue and Date] grade inflation: 35 percent of all undergraduate grades are A or A-. Note: as of last year, the figure hit 40 percent. It's fun asking about this during phone interviews.--The independent research grades at Elon are not pass/fail. They are graded on a letter scale and averaged in with regular class grades. A typical faculty member averages 2-4 research students. Most faculty take on only the brightest students for research. Including independent research grades with regular class grades artificially inflates the number of As. Feel free to ask. We talk about this all the time. After a significant rise in the academic level of our students this past decade, we're working to adjust our grading strategies. We're not alone in this, of course. Of course. [Department]
