Student grades at supposedly "elite" Harvard are a joke! It is being reported that the most common or modal grade is the A and the median grade is A-. Talk about grade inflation, this is ridiculous. See the story at Breitbart Big Government.
In thirty years in the business, I was never that lenient in graduate seminars, much less with undergraduates. Where is the discrimination? How is there a distinction made between merely good work, and outstanding work? There are always students who don't do the work, or do it poorly.
