For a class like this, could a prof not make the marking key be:
A - >50%
B - >40%
C - >30%
etc. You just change the marking key as a work-around, instead of fitting everyone into a curve, where if you get punished for being in an abnormally smart class (or rewarded if in an abnormally dumb class). I can remember many classes in university where a standard for an A was different percentage-wise...not sure why that can't be the case for the extremely hard classes (other than the fact that the student doesn't know half the material).
