The final exam is now graded and the average score was 58%. Your scores and grades have been sent by e-mail to your official university address. I have included the following scores, all expressed as percentages:
test 1, test 2, test 3, final exam, lab, recitation, capa, and your total score.
The lab and recitation scores were scaled by a small amount to ensure equity among the different TA's. The total score was calculated as follows:
total = 0.125 (t1 + t2 + t3) + 0.275 fin + 0.15 lab + 0.04 rec + 0.16 capa.
The notation "<5" indicates that less than 5 labs were completed.
I shall post answers to the exam as soon as one late exam is completed.
The final exam is on Tuesday 7 May from 10:30 am to 1 pm in Duane G1B30, Ramaley C250, and the JILA auditorium (see map for JILA auditorium). Your room and seat assignments are posted. The exam is cumulative, covering the whole semester, but with a slight emphasis on the last month's material. All questions will be multiple-choice, as on the two specimen exams. You may bring four 3 x 5 index cards covered with as much hand-written material as you wish.
CAPA set 15 will be available on Friday 26 April and will be due Friday 3 May. No detailed solution is required this week. (Detailed solution for 26 April was Problem 8 of CAPA 14.)
Your section meeting in the week of 29 April - 3 May will be a
recitation, but there will be no quiz.
CAPA set 14 will be available on Friday 19 April and will be due Friday 26 April. Please write out a detailed and lucid solution to Problem 8 of CAPA 13 and put it in the appropriate box in the lab by Friday 26 April. (Detailed solution for 19 April was Problem 1 of CAPA 13.)
In your section meeting in the week of 22 - 26 April you will do Experiment #6. No quiz. (The quiz problem for 15 - 19 April is Giancoli, page 346, Problem 76.)
The third exam is now graded and your scores have been
sent to your CU e-mail address. You should receive FOUR scores,
(1) the multiple choice (out of 30),
(2) the written-answer (out of 20),
(3) and the total (out of 50), (these three all for the
third test)
(4) PLUS your total score for all three tests.
The average score was 28/50 on the third test.
The VERY ROUGH grade boundaries based on your total score for all three
tests are as follows: (maximum possible = 150)
A > 112 > B > 87 > C > 62 > D
(The corresponding rough boundaries for the third test
alone are 37, 28, 19.)
CAPA set 13 will be available on Friday 12 April and will be due Friday 19 April. Please write out a detailed and lucid solution to Problem 1 of CAPA 13 and put it in the appropriate box in the lab by Friday 19 April. (Detailed solution for 12 April was Problem 3 of CAPA 12.)
Your section meeting in the week of 15 - 19 April you
will be a recitation. The quiz problem is Giancoli, page 346, Problem 76.
Our third EXAM is on Tuesday 9 April at 7:30.
This test covers Sec7-8 thru Sec 11-4 (or, equivalently, CAPA's 8 - 11)
. Your seating assignments are the
same as before. You may prepare one 3" x 5" index card with all the
information you can write on it (both sides, but no typing or photocopying)
for this exam, and you may also bring the two you made for the previous
exams. There is a specimen
exam posted on the web.
Late Enrollers: If you enrolled after Friday 11 Jan, you will not be registered in the CAPA roster. Please go to the CAPA Late Enrollment site right away and get this put right. Once you are registered in CAPA you can get your PIN from the CAPA pin-getter. (Click on "CAPA" on this home page, then "CAPA logon page", and then "CAPA PIN getter".)
