Burton Simmons’s “Adventures in Business School”

No sooner had I written my last post about midterms then I got them both back (in the span of 2 hours!)  For my statistics class I got a 95/100 (I lost 4 points on the last questions where I simply wrote down a number with no facts behind it because I was out of time) and for my Information Systems class I got a 52/60.  Now that second one’s less than ideal, but apparently the mean value for the test scores was 39, with a standard deviation of 9 points.  So that leaves me somewhere in the upper 16% or so and - while there’s no specific letter grade attached - should be pretty all right.  I’d have done better, too, except one question was a trick question - and I was tricked.  That kinda irritates me, since my answer was completely correct… for a different question.  Sigh.
