Within a few minutes of googling "grade inflation" both Prof. Rizeng and Chair Marks found the following graph. The data show the average grades received by college students at US public and private schools over the past 30 years.

This graph comes from www.gradeinflation.com.

1. What conclusions can you make by examining these data?

2. Does this constitute grade inflation as presented in your group's definition?

3. Make a list of questions (learning issues) you have about these data.
