I just received a Springer-Verlag statistics catelog. In it was a book by Valen E. Johnson titled Grade Inflation: A Crisis in College Education. According to the summary in the catalog, the book argues that since students award faculty with higher teacher evaluations when the faculty give higher grades and students tend to take courses with faculty that give higher grades, grade inflation is the obvious result. Has anyone read the book? I would be interested in knowing whether it would be a good book to purchase.
