I hate when professors use a grading curve. I don't even understand why it's necessary. If people failed, it's because they weren't good enough and didn't know the material well enough to pass. That just means that they should work harder. Skewing the grading so that people will get higher grades than they earned is counterproductive to learning. One time, a friend told me that on test people in her class did so poorly that the teacher made something like a 64% an A grade. I was seething and it wasn't even my class! And she seemed fine with it happening!
