Test #2 Graded

I have posted grades for test #2. You will see that the curve has already been added (it is 1/3 of the points lost). You will receive a progress report this morning that must be signed and returned by next Tuesday to receive 2 points extra credit. Test corrections must be completed by next Thursday in order to keep the curve. If you do not complete the test corrections, then I will remove the curve and have your grade changed for the first grading period.

Overall, the results on the test were quite mixed. 36% earned an A and 26% earned a B before the curve (5% were in the 100-103 range). However, 20% earned an F before the curve (5% were in the 0-50 range).

On a positive note, I am very impressed with those students who did well on this test. It was not an easy test. A high score on this test represents a combination of strong effort and the ability to learn and think critically.

In the mean time, we must move forward. We will be starting Chapter 3 during class today.
