Colleges With The Easiest and Hardest Grades
Grade inflation has been raging for years on college campuses, but professors at some schools have never got the message to go easy on the grading.
Where do college students encounter the toughest grading? Stuart Rojstaczer, a former Duke professor, who created GradeInflation.com, compiled a list of schools earlier this year of the toughest graders.
At the 16 colleges and universities on the list, it's significantly harder to get A's than the typical campus. Not all of the schools have particularly low GPA's, but Rojstaczer observed that there are selective schools on this list that would prompt you to expect more A's.

I use this as a valid excuse for why I don't make A's too often

IDK if he''s still there but Michael Stern is a good guy to get to know...he is very helpful and outside of class a cool guy to talk to...he's the department chair for econ and he's a genius...in class he's a dick and talks about how Auburn students aren't as good as students at other schools but if you get in good with him he can help you
