- Should Aquiline have rewarded the D student for her effort and bumped her grade to a C, which may have caused her parents to interpret the grade as a signal that their daughter's work was adequate rather than barely passing? Or should Aquiline have risked discouraging her student by giving her the D her academic work warranted? And what grade should the underachieving student have received? An F for lack of effort? The failing grade might have prodded him to work harder, but would it have accurately reflected the real quality of his work? .

7. Fiscal Policy Effects on Grade Inflation
- www.newfoundations.com
- Fiscal Policy Effects on Grade Inflation .
- Grade inflation occurs when a student receives a grade for course work unwarranted by the level of work or achievement demonstrated (Stone, 1995). There is evidence that grade inflation is in fact present in both private and publicly funded colleges and universities. The exact causes of grade inflation and agreement on whether the issue is important enough to warrant serious concern are topics of much disagreement. The purpose of my paper is to suggest that grade inflation does exist and that another of its causes is fiscal and budgetary policy, specifically, the use by many states of enrollment based funding formulas as a means of allocating funds for higher education. My paper begins with a discussion of the grade inflation phenomenon and some of its more popular causes followed by a review of college economics and the funding formula. ...

10. Howstuffworks "What does percent grade mean on a road?"
- www.howstuffworks.com
- What does percent grade mean on a road?.
- When you travel through the mountains, you often see signs that say things like "Trucks check brakes -- 10% grade" or "6% grade -- Trucks use right lane only. ...
- The grade of something is simply a measure of its rise over its run. ...
- To get the percent grade, you simply multiply by 100, which gives you 10%. It doesn't matter whether you use feet, meters, miles or kilometers -- if you know how far the road rises in a given horizontal distance, you can calculate the percent grade. ...
- In common practice, people often refer to percent grade as the rise divided by the distance you would travel going up the hill (side C), rather than the horizontal distance (side A). ... This is not technically the grade, but for normal roads that aren't very steep, it ends up being pretty close because the horizontal distance and the length of the actual road are nearly the same. ...
- To calculate percent grade exactly, you need to figure out the horizontal distance traveled (A). ...
- So what good does all of this do you? First of all, the percent grade gives you a relative sense of how steep the hill is. If you've climbed a hill designated as having a 5% grade, for example, you'll know approximately what to expect from any other 5% grade hill. ...
- Percent grade also gives you enough information to figure out the grade angle -- the angle of the hill's ascent (angle d in the diagram below). ... To calculate the angle of ascent when you know the percent grade, you simply take the arc tangent of the grade (the inverse of the tangent). So, if you have a 10% grade, you look up the arc tangent of 0. ...
- Roads are measured in percent grade rather than degrees for two reasons: .
- You don't have to have a special calculator or trig tables to calculate percent grade. ...
- If you know the percent grade, it's easy to calculate the approximate distance you have risen or fallen simply by looking at your odometer. If you have coasted down a mile-long hill on a 10% grade, you know you have fallen about a tenth of a mile in vertical height. ...
