================================= Exam 1 statistics ================================= (reported on 10/28/2021) N = 39 Interval = [0,360] Average = 199 Stand Deviation= 74 Median = 198 Min range = [0,80] Max range = [350,360] ================================= ================================= Exam 2 statistics ================================= (reported on 12/18/2021) N = 37 Interval = [0,360] Average = 198 Stand Deviation= 61 Median = 219 Min range = [0,80] Max range = [300,360] ************************************************************ ================================= Course statistics ================================= (reported on 12/18/2021) --- Subject to change --- N = 37 Average = 634 (without PrP excess points) Average = 681 (with PrP excess points) Stand Deviation= 154-161 (with or without PrP excess points) ------------------------------------------------------------ RULE 1. Students are groupped 'curve like' per half of standard deviation (usually 70-90pts). Final Letter grades are decided in six group (A,B+,B,C+,C,F) under the provision that students 500 points or higher can NEVER get an F. Dept grade policy guidelines are then applied. ADJUSTMENT-1 RULE-1 students below 500 are added excess points to determine if they can be assigned a C. ADJUSTMENT-2 RULE-1 students with (< 500 pts) but with points at least 50% of top student's points and a Final at MORE than 50% of top Final exam grade also get a C even if they have < 500 pts. ADJUSTMENT-3 Students at more than 500 points utilize excess points provided (i) Final Exam grade is around the level of the final exam grade of students in the upper group, (ii) A violation (or violations) of the Collaboration policy has not been detected. ADJUSTMENT-4 A violation of the Collaboration policy adjusts a grade lower after consultation with the Dean of Students. Definitions Definitions =========== =========== N = number of students taking the exam Interval = 0 to maxpoints possible for exam (as in Handout 1) Average = Sum of exam grades divided by N Stand Deviation = Shows dispersion of grades. Roughly, 2/3 of the grades are within 37 +/- 12 , and 95% within 37 +/- 2*12 if ave is 37 and std 12 Median = Half of the students got that much or less (and half, more than that).
