Astronomy 104: Stellar Astronomy
Spring Semester 2008

Cabanela Lecture MidTerm #2 Results

MidTerm #2 Solutions are now online here.

The 104 people who took the second Astronomy 104 midterm got an average score of 41.7/50 (a high "B", WOW!) with a standard deviation of 5.5. This means most people (over 90% of the class) got at least a "C" on this exam. I have never had a distribution this high. Good job! The high score was 50/50 (2 people got this) and the low score was 19/50.

The distribution of scores are shown in the plots below:
