Grading policies:

• I do not grade on a bell curve (i.e. there is no set number of individuals who will receive any given grade).
• I do not curve the grades of individual assignments or exams.
• I may bump the grade for everyone in the class up at the end of the year if I feel that some of the assignments were excessively difficult.
• I never bump grades down.
• I rarely bump grades at all.
• In the past, my classes have had average grades that are very similar to other philosophy classes at ISU, although I have a reputation for being a tough grader.
