Does Grade Inflation Affect the Reliability of Grades?
Millman, Jason; And Others
Research in Higher Education, v19 n4 p423-29 1983
Two studies examining the effect of grade inflation on the piling up of grades in fewer grade categories and on the reliability of grade point averages found that reliability suffered significantly only in graduate study in which almost all grades were in two categories, A and B. Some other small effects were found in different rating scales. (MSE)
