Exam #3 Grades

There were 20 multiple choice questions (at 1 pt. each) and the problems were worth 30 points. Maximum possible raw score = 50.

One question was answered correctly by less than 30% of the class, the highest grade on the MC part of the exam was three questions wrong, I added FIVE raw score points onto every score. This is the equivalent of FIVE MC items being tacked on to everyone’s score.

Columns are: MC Correct – number of m.c. items you answered correctly, PrPtsOff – number of points you had deducted for errors on the problems, PrPoints – number of points earned for responses to the problems, RawTot – total raw score, %of100 – raw score expressed as a percentage, adj%of100 – new grade as a percentage, with the curve, and finally Points of 15 – your grade converted to the 15 points this exam was worth

Unfortunately, given the extremely limited class time we have left, I will not be able to spend any time in class discussing the exam, feel free to stop by during my office hours if you would like to discuss the exam, look at correct answers, etc.
