  • Evaluation of the Midterm

    • As explained in the exam instructions, the marking was out of 100, that is, with 100 points one could get the mark of 30cl.
    • Apparently, the exam was more difficult than I had hoped. Therefore, I reduced the border between pass and fail to 3/4 of the (canonical) value of 60, that is to 45. That is, in order to pass the exam, it was sufficient to have obtained 45 points.
    • Accordingly, the pass marks have been evenly rescaled from the interval [45,100] to [18,31], and the marks below 45 have been evenly rescaled from the interval [0,44] to [0,17].
