Exam 1 Results


Here are the results of the first exam. As you can see by the summary statistics, the class as a whole did quite well. Both the mean and median scores were in the B range.

Summary Statistics and Grade Estimates

Statistic     Estimated Letter Grade Cutoff
Max 48   A 43
Min 25   B 38
Mean 38.3   C 34
Median 39   D 29
      E <29

Please note that the Grade Estimates are merely to inform you of your relative standing compared to the maximum score. These grade estimates are not used in tallying your final grade; rather, your numeric scores will be summed for that purpose.

Everyone received credit for one bad item (item #12 Form B, or #13 Form A). This item, about the individual who received "transmissions from the beings on the ceilings of the planet neilings" had no single correct answer due to an error in my construction of the exam. And of course, everyone received credit for item #51 ("Which form of the exam are you taking?").


Exam scores, sorted by the last four digits
of your social security number.

If you do not find your number, or think there is an error, I will bring a master list to class on Wednesday.
