Beschrijving

Harvard University recently capped the number of As received by undergraduates in an effort to curb grade inflation. In Canada university admission averages have been climbing for years. There's been a surge in A+ high school students. Do grades still reflect merit? We hear from Christopher DeLuca, professor of educational assessment at Queen’s University, and Darja Barr, a senior instructor in mathematics at the University of Manitoba who has studied the connection between high school grades and achievement in first year university.
