And for me, those were my humanities courses. Math and science always came easy to me, I was generally setting the curve in those courses. It was the method of humanistic inquiry that really challenged me to think in ways that were different from what was familiar.
And, to be fair, my evidence is anecdotal too. However, grade inflation has long been a topic of discussion in the academy and conventional wisdom says that some of the elite institutions are the worst offenders (spawning a subsequent trickle down effect). Having taught at an insititution that is in that group, I can say that my experiences provide more anecdotal evidence that the problem does exist.
