No, papers don't get scores here either, generally. Generally, because I have received scored papers. But I'm pretty sure those are curved too. But we still have a fair share of multiple-choice midterms, and of course econ and anything scientific or mathematical get scored.
See, I didn't do well in school really until I started receiving grades. In elementary school I was pretty mediocre at everything except writing, and i think part of the problem was that then you were graded basically on speed and you were rewarded with being able to play with your friends - so it was like a social reward for being confident in your work, and that did not work for me. Once I started getting grades it was like I could become confident in something.
