IB 100 and 101 Spring 2008
First Exam Results
Biology 100 and 101 are different courses. The first
exam has a
different weight for the two courses. Because students in the two
courses have different experiences outside lecture, one might expect
the
median scores on the exam for the two courses to be different,
but in fact, the median scores in the two courses were very
similar on this exam.
The median score was 32.05/40 questions, right at the
expected 80%
mark
(32/40). Because of this, we have decided to NOT adjust (curve) the
previously announced 90% (A), 80% (B), 70% (C), 60% (D) grade scale for
this exam.
Twenty-one percent of you earned an "A" with two making
a perfect
40/40. Thirty-four percent earned a "B". Twenty-five percent earned a
"C". Fourteen percent earned a grade of "D". Six percent scored below
60%.
