Date 10/02:
Grading curve for Exam 1, the score you see on Sakai, is 0.82(raw score)+18. This shrinks the data towards the center (smaller standard deviation, recall V(aX)=a^2 V(X)) and then shift the whole density so that the max score is still 100. The raw score was calculated using 100 minus 5 points for each wrong answer.


Date 09/28:
Exams will be available for viewing throughout the semester.

Rules for viewing scantron: There must be only 4 students in the office at a time and no bags/pencils/pens/erasers are allowed (for obvious reasons)



Date 09/17:
Practice 1 questions have been posted.
