grade inflation









































grade inflation is used in two senses: (1) grading leniency: the awarding of higher grades than students deserve, which yields a higher average grade given to students; and (2) the tendency to award progressively higher academic grades for work that would have received lower grades in the past.









































this article is about grade inflation in the second sense. higher grades in themselves do not prove grade inflation and many believe there is no such problem. it is also necessary to demonstrate that the grades are not deserved.

ultimately the game is a high-score attack. each level is tuned so that certain advanced techniques have to be used in order to achieve the higher scores, with correspondingly higher grades given to mark progress. these techniques are all discoverable to begin with, but they aren't explained in the initial instruction set. later levels force you to learn these techniques, hints for failed attempts point the way, and by going back to earlier levels you can more easily achieve the higher level grades.
