Yes. All but one. He was a nazi. A literal nazi. He was German. And a prick. A nazi.
I had the highest grade, around 5 percentage points higher than the next highest grade, and still got an A-.

Fuck that nazi.

Not for me. All professors give fixed points for each problem. Well, maybe I am not sure about one. There was one professor last semester who never turned in a single graded test back. I went by the entire semester completely blind about if I was passing or not.

I got an A in his class at the end and this makes me think that perhaps he curved based on my score because I always felt like I made many mistakes in his tests, but it is impossible to know for sure.

Not physics, but what I hated was was a class where everyone had trouble getting above average grades - except for the wife of one of the faculty who was *auditing* the class.
Teacher announced that the grades wouldn't be bell curved, but would be ranged off the top score instead of 100%. She ended up getting a 99% because this was the only class she was taking, so could spend 100% of her time studying for this class.
The teacher would listen to our arguments about how she shouldn't be counted because she was only taking the 1 class, not a full load. In fact, since she was auditing, her grade wouldn't even be recorded in any official transcripts.

My physics teacher grades on a reverse curve;
the better the class does the easier it is to make an A. In effect a number of points are added to people's grade that is higher if the class as a whole does well.

My teacher square rooted our grades

Damn, doesn't this system encourage cheating?
