P114 Fall 2004, Exam1 distribution

average scores:  P1=10/12, P2=10/12, P3=9/12, P4=11/16, P5=11/16, P6=10/18, P7=11/18, total=72/104=69%

The median score was 75, which is probably a bit fairer to use in thinking about the curve due to the fact that the long, low tail pulls the average.

Overall, I'm happy with the scores on this exam.  I can see that most of you are putting in a good deal of effort to learn this stuff.  Effort or not, if your score is in the low tail, now is a good time to examine how you approach this course.  One thing that might help in this is the trouble-shooter I put together.
