Exam 2 Part 1 retake

The Exam 2 part 1 retake scores have been posted on eLearning.  Most people (but not all) improved their score.  If your retake score was higher than the original score, then I averaged the two.  Otherwise, I made no changes.  The overall average on Exam 2 (both parts) after the retake was 70%.

Exam 2

Exam 2 scores have been posted on eLearning.  The average for Part 1 was 54% and the average for Part 2 was 78%.  These were weighted equally to give a composite average of about 66%.  The scores that show on eLearning are a maximum of 10 for Part 1 and a maximum of 40 for Part 2.

As I have already discussed in class, I will give you the option of retaking Part 1 on Friday, March 23.  The questions will be very similar, but not exactly the same, as the original exam.  There will be no retake on Part 2.  If you don't choose to retake or make less than the first take, then your grade will not change.  If you improve on the retake, then your new Part 1 score will be the average of the first take and the retake.

If you did not do well on Part 1, then this is a chance for you to significantly improve your grade while also improving your understanding (which could also help on the final exam).  I hope you will take full advantage of this opportunity.
