Closer
Just tallied all of the grades for the quarter (not including Monday's late bonus exam).
On the lab exam, practically a dead heat (that's a tie in horse racing argot):
D: 91.2
E: 90.5
B: 90.2
I'm satisfied with the results although I do have two qualifications: almost exclusively, the classes lost points on questions that had the right numerical answer with the WRONG unit among the choices. AFTER and ONLY AFTER you have already written a predicted answer, please read ALL choices . That is a major test-taking skill taught by EVERY reputable test prep company. Also, some of you do not know how to use a calculator especially when a denominator has a large or small number written in scientific notation. I will be happy to show you how to use your calculator. Just see me at extra help.
Thanks for the good results.
Enjoy Sunday!
