three are your A's and F's (~2.5% each)

Just a minor quibble, but most curved schemes that I have seen employed in large classrooms don't go all of the way to a full three standard deviations but assign A's to those in the 90th percentile and above. I could be way off; I don't do the marking. ;) You'd probably know better than me, but such an exacting standard would seem to me (and I do acknowledge your broader point) to be a little bit too harsh. Particularly in the more competitive faculties, I would like to think that more than three students in a class of one hundred could produce work worthy of an 'A'.
