* Hi Everyone: Now - to score the exams. Blackboard automatically takes the number possible and divides it into the number you got correct. That give a percentage. Well, that is not exactly how we are going to do it. I take the highest grade in the class for that exam and I use that number to divide into each of your scores. So if the highest exam is one where someone did not miss a single question then the highest score and the total number for the exam will be the same number. However, very seldom does anyone get all of the questions correct. Therefore we have an "adjusted high score" which we divide into your score. You should, as I do, keep a record the the adjusted high score for each exam. At the end of the course I add up the adjusted high scores and divide that number into your total correct scores = a percentage = a final grade. D. Laws Sent: September 16, 2008 1:48 PM
* The EXAM 1 is fairly heavily weighted toward tuning fork tests. By the way, whenever you discuss exams ALWAYS use the number of the exam - - - - like EXAM 2 - - - - - and not like EXAM. With three classes going it gets impossible around here some times. D. Laws Sent: September 5, 2008 9:39 AM
