Final Exam – Friday, Dec. 18

Final Exam – Friday, December 18

4:00 – 6:30 PM      Thompson Hall 102/104

Cumulative exam, 41 questions (each question is worth 3.0000000 points for a total of 120 points.  so one Q could lead to bonus points)

Final and Answers

The exam was scaled by adding 6 points to every exam, as two questions were a little weird.  Absolutely correct, mind you, but they tested weirdly.  So the resulting exam average was 82.3 points (27.4 Q correct).

For extraordinary reasons, I can offer a final exam at a time other than the normal time – contact me ASAP for more information.  But please make sure that your reason is a good one (see the Univ. Exam. Policy).

Answers for Exam 2:  ExamView – Test2, 2009

Announcements:

1)The material covered for this exam was more difficult than that of the first exam – it is normal for the scores to be a little lower.  Average = 64, as calculated below. I will post a histogram tomorrow.

2) The exam scores were calculated as follows:  (# correct)x(4) + 4 = score.

3) one question was worded poorly, so I gave everybody 4 points for that question (see above)

4) the exam answer key had a mistake on each exam form: The correct answer to ion radius is Br- (Form A, #14; varies from form to form).  This mistake was corrected prior to calculating the scores above.

5) In order to help normalize scores, I will do the following: Your percentage score on the final exam will replace that of your lowest midterm, provided that this will improve your score. (eg: MT = 62/100, final = 90/120.  Your MT score would get dropped, and replaced by a “75”.)
