Mid-Year Exam Results

      Katie Duncan and our next-door neighbor, Buffy the Buffalo



Here is the breakdown for the Midyear Exercise:

5 Students scored 100 points (bravo!)

13 Students scored 96 points

4 Students scored 92 points

8 Students scored 88 points

9 Students scored 84 points

4 Students scored 80 points

4 Students scored 76 points

6 Students scored 72 points

2 Students scored 68 points

3 Students scored 64 points

1 Student scored 56 points

2 Students scored 52 Points

3 Students scored 48 points

1 Student scored 36 points

2 Students scored 32 Points

The test median was 84 points

The average score was 80.04

This was good work. More than half of you scored above 80% on this short exercise.

As I said in class, don't read too much into your performance on the mid-term exercise. The final will count for 300 points, and things could change a lot based upon your performance on the final. Be neither discouraged nor overconfident.

Also, please ignore the "quartile" rankings that the Law College will provide pursuant to a new faculty rule. I consider these quartiles arbitrary at this point in the course, because I simply don't have enough data to make any judgment about your relative ranking in the class. I divided the scores into quartiles only because I was required to do so.

I am quite pleased with the performance of the class as a whole.

I hope you have a great Spring Semester!
