Explain how a student's sense of industry might be damaged by the practice of "grading on the curve."
What will be an ideal response?
One factor that has a detrimental effect on one's sense of industry is competition for a limited number of rewards. "Grading on the curve" limits the number of top grades available regardless of the number of students who perform well. This practice also assures a certain number of top grades even when all performances are low. These conditions may contribute to feelings of inadequacy and inferiority among students.
