Case's grade distribution
Those of you who are interested in how grades are distributued at Case according to gender or department, will be interested in this message I received recently from Dr. Julie Petek, who is Director of Degree Audit & Data Services in the Office of Undergraduate Studies.
She says:
In response to a recent UCITE discussion on grade inflation and a request for more information on current grade distributions here at Case, I've pulled together some undergraduate data from five recent semesters, and summary results are posted on our Undergraduate Studies web site here.
There are two links, and you will need to log in with your Case network ID to access the information. The first is a bar graph showing the percentage of grades by gender. The second is a large table breaking down the percentage of grades by term by course subject, and there is an overall grade distribution table at the end of the page. The overall percentage of As and Bs is 72.5% (n=91,836 grades). Descriptions of Subject Codes can be found on the Registrar's web site here. Cross-listed courses were not combined.

I (a student) can't seem to access the information using my Case ID. Is it supposed to be available to everyone at Case?
Let me check this.
Mano, I was able to get to the data (staff). Very interesting!
Bill
I checked and apparently it is only accessible for faculty and staff.
Can someone tell me why students are not allowed to see this data? Who made this decision? And, who can I appeal to change it?
I think that Dr. Julie Petek in the Office of Undergraduate Studies will be able to tell you whom to appeal the decision to.
