Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Grading on a curve reduces environmental risk because it allows for a more balanced evaluation of all students based on their relative performance, rather than solely on the absolute standard. However, it increases ability risk because it may promote a culture of mediocrity, where students do not strive to achieve their best since they know they will be graded based on how well they perform compared to their peers, rather than on an objective measure of their abilities.
