Was just about to log in and go for the exam but checked the discussion boards and chickened out again when I spotted this message from student, TJ Posted on Saturday, July 2, 2005 1:16pm:
"it might just be me but i feel as if this 2nd exam was very hard and advanced and the answers offered were vague not even matching the books descriptions or definitions in the book. If every quiz is going to be worded in the teachers words and not the book then why buy the book?"
Keep in mind that these are "the teachers words" that most of us are having trouble hearing because of the poor audio rendition.
For 33 students that took the first exam, the average score is 74.2%. That’s after the allowance of an additional 6 points for the at least three confusing multiple choice questions where two answers were considered correct after argument.
Also, my thanks to The Great Lettuce Head for some recognition of the problem.
