Genius section

The afternoon section 0002 is the genius section for the semester. Even though they are fewer than the morning section, the "after lunch bunch" has consistently more top scores on midterms and higher averages on midterms. This is also true on the final exam. Chuck Norris would be proud of the afternoon section.

I am analyzing all the exam scores and so forth, and I hope to have them posted up by tomorrow morning, if not sooner.

Sweet video from the afternoon section yesterday.

Midterm exam 1 grades are UP.

OK, the scores for midterm exam 1 are now UP. Look in your My Grades page in Webcourses. The score posted is how many points you got out of 45, one point per question. It is not a percentage. I will have printouts for you next week.

Nobody aced it, 45/45; only four out of 342 did not earn a passing score. The average for earlybird section 9:30 AM was 33, and for the midmorning section 10:30 AM the average was 32. So this means that the earlybirds are the GENIUS section until at least Oct. 3! :)

Remember, we keep the best three scores out of four midterms. For many of you, that will end up being this first exam score. So if your grade is a little stinky compared to what you are shooting for, stay with it and do not be discouraged. We can attain victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good work, everybody! That was a tough exam!
