Scores for Exam 1

The overall class average was 86.7%, and the median was 90%.

NOTE:  This exam was clearly easier that I normally give in this course.  I think this was a result of the CAPA format, which I have never tried before.  I never adjust exam scores downwards or change the scoring rules after the exam, so this does not impact your score.  However, do not expect Exam 2 to be similar!  It will probably be harder, and I have some adjustments in mind for the CAPA scoring.

Note also that there was an error in question 6, which for many students resulted in CAPA giving credit for a slightly wrong answer, but not the right answer.

• If you entered a correct answer that CAPA did not accept, you have received full credit.
• If CAPA gave you credit for an incorrect answer on the 1st or 2nd try, you retain that credit.  The mistake is small, and I believe that if CAPA had told you that it was wrong, you probably would have fixed it correctly in your next try.
• If CAPA gave you credit for an incorrect answer on the 3rd try, then that credit has been taken away.
