<s>[INST] The University of Houston Law Center (UHLC) is considering a plan to change its grading system. Currently, grades are given on the basis of an absolute scale, meaning that grades are based on students' actual performance. However, the proposed plan would change the grading system to a curve, where a fixed percentage of students would receive certain grades. The proponents of the plan argue that this change would motivate students to work harder and be more competitive, as they would be compared to their peers rather than just their own performance.[/INST]
