Hi DSC 200 3 ers,
For those who have just completed mid-term exam, well done!! If you feel that it was agonizing paper, you are normal. If you feel that it is an easy exam, then do not let your peers know; they might ostracize you for a month.
Some of you may not know that N US regulations require exams to be graded on a bell curve. Hence, your final grades are independent on the difficulties of the exams. In other words, an easy exam in which all students feel that they are doing well, will yield the same number of A, B, C and D grades, as compared to a very difficult one. I will moderate the exam results so that everyone scores above the psychological passing level of 50%. Hence, those who are worried about the high midterm weighting factor shouldn’t feel so. After moderation, no matter how badly you think you have done, the midterm will likely elevate your overall grades.
Cheers
Melvyn
