Student question: I was wondering how much is each answer worth and also if I received credit for turning in my Tutorial early. I was just concerned because I made an 66.71 on my test but thought I did better. I will make sure to pick up my scantron from the business building, but just wondering on the actual points earned per problem.
Answer: Your exam score is the number of questions you got correct divided by 28 (the total number of questions). If you turned in the TVM before the exam, then you received 5 bonus points (these points are added to your percent score, for example, if you had 61.71% on the exam and completed the TVM tutorial, then your final exam 1score is 66.71%).
If you turned in the TVM tutorial before the exam and it did not pass, Sanjukta has volunteered to contact you (she e-mailed you on Sunday) and give you a chance to resubmit and fix the problem. If you correct the problem, we will regrade the TVM but the maximum number of bonus points on the resubmission is 4 points. Only one person has resubmitted so far. If Sanjukta has contacted you, please thank her. The most efficient option would have been to just return the TVM to you (without bonus). No bonus for TVM turned in after the exam 1.
The other possibility for bonus was blog participation. The maximum number of blog bonus points on this exam was 2. A couple students received 2 points and several student received 1 point.
Sanjukta and I will be posting a TVM completion list soon. We are just waiting to see if more people resubmit. We wait until Sunday and no longer.

Can you tell us what the grade distribution was?
I am still waiting for a couple TVM resubmission, but this won't influence the final distribution too much. The mean was 73% and the median was 75%. The high score was 101.43% and the low was 7.14%. Quiet the range but the median was right on par with prior semesters. Overall, a pretty good job on the first exam.
