Grade Inflation: The Case of Urban Colleges and Universities.
Summerville, Richard M.; And Others
College Teaching, v38 n1 p33-38 Win 1990
A study of whether true grade inflation existed at a college, the scope of the problem if it existed, and what corrective steps, if any, ought to be taken was limited to the years 1979-1986. Data suggest that true grade inflation probably exists or cannot be ruled out. (MLW)
