i have a big habit of mimicking people. i do it because thats how i adapted to survive school, my natural self wasnt cutting it. i was treated much better after i started doing it. even now i can feel anxious about being myself at times and i revert to the comfort of mimickry. im not sure if this is anything peculiar or is this just another way of wording the concept of being influenced by others. i can pinpoint the exact person i got each and every one of my traits and mannerisms from. im not sure if theres anything unique about me that i didnt borrow from someone else. im also not sure if this doesnt apply to everyone else too

It’s more a hidden mechanic so that the institute can claim that their average score is higher, than it is.

(Some teaching institue gains money from the government according to their student’s score. Some based on how many students they have.)

it could just be one extra row in an excel sheet

maybe double the amount of output. each student outputting two numbers now - one for avgScore and one for avgScorePreCurve. the word double sounds menacing but it’s just a single extra cell in excel. at least in my proposed implementation. if financing this project is a concern i can volunteer doing the IT work myself. where can i contact the US government? does anyone here have connections? you’re the only americans i know, so i have to ask you. i can save them a lot of money

Issue with pre curve score is then some professors intentionally make the class 10x harder and then curve it at the end

like I remember 1 class I went to the average was 35%, then curved to 85%
