Website to find out about the average grade your professor gives.?

I know there is a website that you can check the average grade your teacher gives, I have been to it before. But I do not remember the website, it also compares other teachers from that department at your shcool. It is not rateyourprofessor.com and I am not sure if it only for my school, which is University of Colorado at Boulder. If you know the name of the site please tell me.
I found the website, and just for the record I am not looking to get out of writing papers and hopeing for an A because they give A’s! I was asking for a reference to how hard their tests are. I don’t want an easy teacher but I do not want the hardest one either!

I might to totally not up-to-date, but I always thought professors grade your paper according to what you have written..

Some are stricter, some expect you to work less… bottom line, sit down at your desk, hand in a paper you are fine with (depending on your personal level of motivation or professionalism) and see what you get for it. My sister teaches at college and certainly doesn´t have anything even remotely close to "the average grade" she is giving to her pupils, nor have I ever come across something like an "average grade" in my years at university, both as a lecturer and a student.

And honestly - knowing that "your" teacher likes to grade people A* doesn´t get you one if your paper is rubbish, so I don´t really get the point of your question. If you want to find out whether that teacher pays particular attention to grammar, spelling, punctuation, formalities etc. best thing to do is ALWAYS to either ask him or her for a stylesheet for your paper OR talk to a student who´s done the course before.
