Multiple choice portion of final

I have preliminary grades for the MC section ... I will have to go back and double check everything this weekend, but to give you an idea of how it went:


The plot above is the distribution of scores. No one aced it, the closest was missing only 1 of 18. Congrats to Mr. Mgbemena.


The plot above is the percentage of you answering each question correctly. Obviously, questions 2 and 14 just sucked. As did 18, a little bit. Otherwise, not bad. Those three questions basically account for the relatively low average.

The average on the MC part was 71.6%, with a standard deviation of 14.3%. There will probably be a slight curve, amounting to about 5 points.

FYI, the multiple choice and problems sections will be curved separately (if necessary) - if the average on the problems ends up very low, it will be scaled more. The separately scaled scores will then be added together for the final grade.

You can start inquiring about grades on Monday, I will be done grading exams by then.
