Grading finished
The grading is finished, but I'm not quite sure when the grades will be available. Here is at least the distribution:
A: 4
B: 6
C: 12
D: 6
E: 2
F: 1
The exam seems to have worked reasonably well, except that the two hardest problems 2c) and 3e) may have been a little too much in combination. We therefore changed the scale by pretending that the exam consisted of 13 problems instead of 14. This lead to the following scale:
A: 140 – 118
B: 118 – 99
C: 98 – 75
D: 74 – 59
E: 58 – 52
F: 51 – 0
My main complaint about the exam papers is that many were messy to the extent of being almost unreadable, and that even some of the better ones lacked explanations. I suppose I have to take part of the blame by making an exam that was a little too long.
Wishing you a nice summer
