final exam distributions by Alice L. '24

"mit does not curve"

A graph of different probability distributions on the axes of "makes students happy" and "makes sense in context of scores".

MIT technically “does not curve”, ⁠01 but many classes will define cutoffs relative to class performance, which is more or less a curve; hence, increased happiness when everyone scores poorly together. so I’ve added some here to make up for it!
