Exam 2 Grades Posted

The grades for Exam 2 are now posted. The grades were pretty good. I threw out three questions that at least 65% of the class missed, so your grade was calculated as the percentage correct out of 47, rather than 50.

The grade distribution and statistics are provided below:


Mean: 77.8%
S.D.: 12.25
Median: 79%
Min: 57%
Max: 98%

I also calculated an approximate mid-term grade based on the percentage of points you have earned. (For example, if you earned 92% of the points, you'll see a 92, which would be an A.) That will display at the top under "Mid-Term." Right now, there are still 390 points left, so there's plenty of opportunity to raise your grade between now and the end of the semester.
