Lab Report Stats

Friday--Sep 25, 2009 Filed in:
233
The grading
statistics for CHEM 233 are now posted on the
Grades Fall
2009 page. I was
hesitant to post these so early in the semester,
but I did anyway since there have been several
questions regarding lab report scores. Please do
not over analyze these stats; currently, they only
reflect the scores of the first two lab reports.
They are meant to give you an approximate idea of
how your scores compare to the rest of the class
and how your TA's section average compares with
the others. Remember, initially all sections are
normalized to a 70% average (for lab reports
only), which means that if your TA's lab report
average is below 70% every student's lab report
average will be raised until the section average
is 70%. Likewise, if your TA's average is above
70%, every student's lab report average will be
lowered until the section average is 70%. The
stats will, of course, become more informational
as more scores are added and when the scores of
those students who have withdrawn have been
removed. If you would like an individual detailed
report of your grades, which will include your
normalized lab report score, please stop by my
office during office hours and I'd be happy to
print one out for you.
