Math 213 F1 Midterm Exam 1 Results and Grading Information

• Exam Solutions and Comments. Complete solutions, with comments on common mistakes. Check here first before asking questions about the grading.
• Exam Statistics: The maximal score score was 100 points and the median 73. Invidividual scores ranged from 39 to 100.
• Online Scores: To view all scores you have earned to date, go to this URL (also linked from the Course Webpage):

  The total score shown at the end of the display is the sum of all scores earned so far. Your course grade will be based on the total score the end of the semester. If you notice any errors in the score display, such as an incorrectly entered or missing score, let me know right away and show me the assignment in question.
• Letter grade correspondence: Here is an approximate letter grade correspondence for the total score shown at the end of the score display (as of Sep. 18, based on HW 1-2, Exam 1, and a total score of 130): A range (A-, A, A+): 110 or above (out of 130); B range: 90-110; C range: 70 - 90. (This correspondence is for your information only and will not directly enter the final grade computation. It is a snapshot that shows where you currently stand and what your grade would be if the semester were to end now. There are around 500 more points to be earned over the rest of the semester, and the point total accumulated at the end of the semester is what determines your course grade.)
• Percentage of course grade. The midterm and the two hw scores earned so far account for 130 points, which represents about 20 percent percent of the maximal points total at the end of the semester. For the complete grading policy, see the Course Information Sheet handed out the first week of class.
• Grading appeals. In case of a simple accounting error (e.g., incorrect addition of points, scores, a missing hw score, or a discrepancy between your score on the exam and the score on the computer grade report), let me know, and I'll likely take care of it on the spot. If you have a question about the grading itself, I'd be happy to take a look. Most errors were not unique and were graded uniformly; see the exam solutions for notes on some common mistakes. The deadline for grading appeals for Exam 1 is Friday, Sept. 24.
