I am pleased to say that student results on the exam were good. I have revised the first part of the course to lay a solid foundation for the syntax, which enable students to succeed earlier (and not get lost so quickly!). Now that exam2 is complete, we can see the variability to increase as the average drops. The information represented on Exam 2 is more complex, and forms the basis for the entire course. During the last two weeks of the course, we will work to identify the gaps in knowledge, repair them, and introduce new topics as relevant for the final section.

Keep up this level of effort on the exams and perform consistently on the homeworks and you will do very well in the course. | |
| 85-95 68 |
68-82 50 |
You find yourself in the 'above average' set. With more effort you may find that you can raise yourself into the top-tier for the course. | |
| 71-84 41 |
56-67 48 |
You are not fully meeting expectations and should take care to remedy those weak spots revealed by the exam, otherwise you are in danger of not satisfying the minimal course requirements | |
| 45-71 17 |
45-55 23 |
You should meet with the professor to define a plan to pass the course. And you must identify those weak spots as revealed by the exam. | |
| < 45 7 |
< 45 19 |
Please read the course material to
understand the importance of the number 45. You have two more exams left
to take; if you do not maintain a 45 average across all three
exams you will not maintain a passing exam average and will receive an
NR for the course. You should meet with the professor to define a plan to pass the course. |

Note that 2004 used a different textbook, and an altogether different philosophical approach. You may see topics and questions in the exam(s) for this course offering that are not going to be relevant for 2006.

I have reviewed the 2004/2005 offerings of CS2102 and here are the statistics:
|
2004 |
Exam1 | Exam2 | Exam3 | TOTAL | 2005 | Exam1 | Exam2 | Exam3 | Total | |
| Average | 64 | 64 | 66 | 194 | 72 | 71 | 70 | 213 | ||
| Stdev | 18 | 18 | 17 | 18 | 18 | 23 | ||||
| Pass | 45 | 45 | 45 | 135 | 45 | 45 | 45 | 135 | ||
What does this mean? It means that If you score less than an accumulated score of 135 points on the three exams you will NR the course. When I look at the full grading records of last year, this rule would have only added TWO more NRs to the final set.
