Exam 1 grades posted on WebCT

Exam 1 grades have been posted on WebCT.

The statistics for exam 1 are as follows:

Statistics: Exam1
Graded out of: 100.00
Number of records: 58 Highest grade: 100.00
Lowest grade: 42.86 Mean grade: 71.33
Median grade: 71.43 Standard deviation: 13.97

Your score reflects a 2 point (question) curve. I added 2 points to every one's raw score (your score out of 35, the total number of questions). You can think of this as being able to throughout 2 questions (but only 2) on the exam.

From a general review of the exams, it looks like some people did have trouble with the calculation problems. These types of questions will appear again, so you must keep working on it. Also, 12 people out of 70 did not take exam 1. I drop your lowest grade but the 12 people who missed the first exam must be very careful to make the remaining three exams.

Other than some missing people, the exam went very well. Thank you for your cooperation. Special thanks to Susan for her help. It is getting to be a pretty big crowd to handle. Thanks again.

I am currently working on the exam review which will be posted on the course homepage by Sunday night. I will make a second post when the review is activated.
