Last Thursday, I took the first midterm exam for biology (IB 150). Yesterday in lecture, the professor talked a bit about the overall performance of the class - though no numbers were provided, the histogram made it look like the average was a C. We then had an opportunity to earn some points back. He put up the five most difficult multiple-choice questions (excluding two that were thrown out) and allowed us to work in groups to answer them. My group answered four of those correctly, getting four percentage points added to our exam grade. With that boost, my score came to >100%. That concludes the first set of midterms. The second will begin in a couple weeks with another calculus exam.
Also today, I received a score on another paper for religion class. I got my eighth 100, so I no longer need to worry about writing the essays, only doing the readings and knowing the material. That will nicely balance the increase in work in chemistry class.
