Exam 2 average etc.

Exam 2 was challenging, yet not difficult to pull a decent grade:
  1. Avg. = 36.2/50, would be a C+ if I awarded letter grades for exams.
  2. Almost 90% of the class took down at least 30/50.
  3. Of the 12 students who did not earn at least 30 points, they also tended to have low participation, fewer "mq participation" points to date.
  4. In the ten days of May 30 - June 9, students who scored less than 25/50 averaged 72 minutes in Webcourses. This indicates last minute studying on June 10, if any studying was done at all.
  5. Many students improved their exam score, ΔEXAM = (Exam 2 - Exam 1), especially those who had taken relatively low scores on Exam 1.
I observe a lot of your activity in Webcourses, so I know many of you are working your you-know-what off to prepare. Even if it does not seem that way, I do notice.

Bottom line: Keep working hard and strive upwards. Make it your business to crush Exam 3 and the upcoming pop exams on iTunes U podcasts and on readings.
