Midterm exam

  • Here is a histogram of the midterm scores (looks like a hat!; these are adjusted scores, not raw scores).
    • Inlined image: EX01-histogram.png
  • Here is a note on the grading by the TA.
    The grading scheme was as follows:
    
    1a - 15 pts
    1b - 10 pts
    1c - 10 pts
    1d - 15 pts
    
    2a - 15 pts
    2b - 20 pts
    2c - 15 pts
    
    As for other important rubric bits, the only thing that really stands out is that for part A of the first problem, if they didn't define their k-vector, they lost points, but then if they later defined it then I gave them the points for it there. It didn't happen often, but points for part A of the first problem are spread out for a handful of students.
