Don't forget to review the material from Midterm 1
and Midterm 2.
Here's the overhead from Wednesday's review.
Midterm 2 & Grade Info:
*** SOLUTIONS to
Midterm 2: Version 1 and
Version 2
(If your Problem 1 contains "TC(q)=0.02q2+..." you had
version 1 of the test. Version 2 has "TC(q)=0.01q2+..." )
*** Midterm & Percentage grades
so far are here. A tentative %-to-GPA
conversion scale is here.
Note: the
conversion scale at the end of the term may be different, depending on the
grade distribution at that time!
*** Stats: Midterm median: 38.5 out of 50
points. 25% of class got 44/50 or more. 75% of the class got 30.5 /50 or more.
Overall, the class median so far is
77%.
Bad-Midterm-Day Provision:
If at the end of the quarter
either one of your two midterm grades is greater than zero but below 70% of
the average of the final and the other midterm score, I will automatically
replace the low midterm grade with that 70% of the average of the other two
exams.
Example1: M1: 40/50= 80%, M2:
20/50=40%, F: 75/100=75%. Here 70% of the average of M1 and F is
0.7*(80+75)/2=54.25%, which is greater than the 40% of M2, so your M2 score
gets replaced by 54.25% of 50 points = 27 points.
Example2: M1: 40/50=72%, M2:
30/50=60%, F: 75/100=75%. Here neither midterm is below 70% of the average of
the other two exams, so the grades stand.
The intent of this policy is to not let one particularly bad midterm day
have too much of an impact on your grade.
It cannot be modified to just drop the lower midterm & it cannot be used to
replace the final exam score by anything else.
