Product Description:
An authoritative and provocative discussion of the key issues surrounding grade inflation and its possible effects on academic excellence.
This book is an excellent collection of essays or papers by different authors, and originated in a conference a few years prior to publication. The authors each present perspectives that are well articulated, point out the facts and fallacies of what passes for reportage of grade inflation, and cut to the heart of the problem, with some suggestions for ways forward. That the authors are not all of the same mind makes this an especially useful book, because the problematic nature of the issue is exposed. Each essay is carefully crafted, and together they cover the range from data-based analyses to analytic interrogations of this fraught territory. If you have simplistic ideas aboutgrade inflation, read this book. And if you have sophisticated ideas, or are party to a particular view, read it too. It is illuminating, and merits careful reading. It's the best treatment on this topic I have seen so far.
