Exam 1: median=75, average=76.3
Recall that effective class engagement=5%, homework=5%, problem sets=30%, exams=50% and
final research presentations=10% (must participate to pass). As per the
syllabus:
Exams 50%
To encourage exams as a learning experience a couple extra points will be granted for
complete and correct test corrections. Turn in your original test too.
You can possibly add:
Maximum of {+3 or
+15% points you missed}
to your test grade if you replace all
of your incorrect responses with correct answers either on the original exam itself or on a separate
sheet. Unlike problem sets, no annotations are expected.
I expect you to use online solutions and my help.
I want you to understand the material
and I am happy to help in office hours or online.
