Grade inflation: graduate students' perspective

Grading inflation is a major problem in academia. The paper's purpose is to assess graduate students' perception of grade inflation. Students' results (n = 120) are examined by gender and grade point average. According to students, grade inflation is not a problem and grades accurately reflect performance. Respondents believe that some students feel entitled to receive a higher grade regardless of effort. Graduate students' views of grade inflation did not differ based on their gender or grade point average. Further, grade inflation is seen as unethical but not personally relevant. Students, overall, are pragmatic in endorsing grade inflation remedies. They support those in their best interest.
