Astronomy 2: Overview of the Universe

Fall 2008

We found that two questions on the exams (all version) were incorrectly scored. Many students now got those two questions right instead of wrong, and the scores have almost all gone up, accordingly. All the relevant information for the final, correct scores is now linked from this page.


A histograms showing the results for both lectures can be found here . This histogram indicates how the percentage scores (# correct divided by 48 total) should be interpreted as letter grades.

You can also see your own raw score (number of questions right out of 48) and approximate letter grade on the following two links.

For final course grades, the top 1/3 of A's will get an A+ and the bottom 1/3 will get an A-. We will divide the B's into B+, B, B- the same way. The C's will be divided in half and the top half will get a C+. These are not important distinctions to make on any one exam grade, so we did not indicate + and - letter grades on this exam. You can see for yourself how your score compares to the rest of the class.
