Re: Now I know how teachers feel.

On a related note, there was an Algorithm Analysis exam back in the day where two questions were worth 25% each of the exam (totaling 50%) and each said:

No Partial Credit

Class average ended up being a 56 on that exam with a standard deviation of 22. I talked to someone who got a 31 on it. Nice meme.

I am curious what the questions were now

scores like that seem common for cs theory classes and idk why

20% was a C when i took complexity theory

Re: Now I know how teachers feel.

my first computer architecture test last semester had a variance of 79 lmao, and there were no outliers. the scores were for the most part evenly distributed from 18 up to 97.

And some poor kid got a 2% on a linear algebra midterm, on which I scored a 108 lul

It depends how many "no partial credit" questions there are and how the professor helps students prepare for an exam.

To have an idea of how bad Assembly was, the first exam scores ranged from 15-80, and the second exam scores ranged from 7-100. Average was around a 40 for both.

The TA was so bad with zero-bombing students, and my professor was disorganized and unhelpful -- my 70 average ended up being an A- and I'm not sure how that class was scaled considering there was basically no middle ground, haha.
