IB 100 and 101 Spring 2008
ADJUSTED Second 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 right at the
expected 80%
mark
(32/40). Upon reviewing the course statistics I found that one question
performed poorly. Because of this, we have decided to adjust
(curve) the
previously announced 90% (A), 80% (B), 70% (C), 60% (D) grade scale for
this exam by one point.
The adjusted letter grade scale for both
IB 100 and 101 is:
A = 87.5% (35/40)
B = 77.5% (31/40)
C = 67.5% (27/40)
D = 57.5% (23/40)
A point will NOT be added to your
score
for this exam,
but a proportionate "curve" will be applied to the course grade scale.

your
grade on this exam will have on your course grade and see some
suggestions for improving your grade in the future. There are still
several opportunities to significantly improve your course grade.
