Grading on a curve is like a distributed system: the success/failure of a student you didn't even know existed can render your own grade unstable. (Seeing a kid's friend losing honors because some other student's parents moved out of town!) Yet another reason to not like it.

@shriramk I think not grading on a curve assumes a professor's perfection -- a perfection I never achieved in a couple decades of teaching.
Maybe the problem is how to adjust for kids no longer in the class?

@markh Sorry, I really do not understand why not grading on a curve assumes "perfection". Maybe we have different interpretations for what "grading on a curve means" (though just as possibly, for what grades mean). What does "grading on a curve" mean to you?
