Question

Updated question:

3. Relative versus absolute compensation Aa Aa Felix is trying to decide which courses he should enroll in for the spring semester, with the goal of receiving the highest grade possible. At his university, students can find out which professors prefer to grade on a curve versus which ones use absolute grading (that is, the grade at the end of the year is based solely on the number of points earned on exams). In each of the following situations, determine whether Felix would benefit more from a professor who grades on relative performance (grading on a curve) or one who grades on an absolute scale. Scenario Grading on a Curve Absolute Scale At Felix's school, the undergraduate language courses are mostly taught by foreign exchange students who speak little English. Because of this, it can be a challenging learning environment for all students. Felix is a hard worker, but he is not a physics major. At his university, physics courses without prerequisites are not separated for majors and non-majors. Felix took lots of college physics courses during his senior year in high school and therefore feels much more prepared than the average student for an introductory course in physics.
