Just look at any research in Depts. of Education where they've pretty much instituted a policy of "no grade lower than a C. When the Commonwealth of PA raised the GPA needed to student teach (I think to a 3.5), surprise, surprise, anything below an B was rarely given in their 1st year Educational Psychology course. I know this because many of these "A & B students" who had received such high grades in Ed. Psych. would then take an intro psych course in the Psych Dept., and proceed to go down in flames. And the poor dears were even "blindsided" by the prof requiring to know things from the text that weren't even covered in lecture and which were only available in the textbook. Oh, the horror!
