I understand why students want the marks. In the History MA at Windsor it may come down to the harshness that a C is a FAIL and an A is very very hard to get. I think there are a lot of B+s going around. When you add the fact that no PhD program will look at you unless you have all As it makes for a very stressful semester. Or final week anyway.

It's never going to keep me out of a PhD programme, hah! My students, though, are very stressed about grades and they freak out if you give them a B. Because the State of Georgia has a scholarship programme for every kid as long as they keep their grades up.
