Passed the poly-sci mid-term

I did about as well as I thought I would/did (what?). I'm pretty sure I can do better on the final. Dr. Sonnleitner gave us a pretty detailed break-down of class scores. Each question was presented separately. As if you cared, here it is.

Essay A (40 points poss.)

• 36-40 points = A.  There were 10 people who got a score in this range. 4 of them (including me!) got a 40 on this question.
• 32-35 points = B.  7 people
• 28-31 points = C.  4 people
• 24-27 points = D.  2 people
• 23 or less = F. 1 person

Essay B (40 points poss.)

• 36-40 points = A.  2 people got in this range. No one got a perfect score on this question.
• 32-35 points = B.  6 people
• 28-31 points = C.  13 people. I got a 31 on this question. I nearly had a B on this one. I said John Locke was a Realist (he was more of a Liberal) and lost a point for it.
• 24-27 points = D.  3 people
• 23 or less = F. No one.

 Essay C (40 points poss.)

• 36-40 points = A. 3 people. There were 2 perfect scores.
• 32-35 points = B.  3 people.
• 28-31 points = C.  10 people. 
• 24-27 points = D.  7 people. Here I am with a 27. My first D in college. Immediately after finishing the test and going outside I started remembering other things I should have wrote down for this question. I, and many others, ran out of steam by the end of the exam. We had as much time as we needed and I took about 1-1/2 hour. My brain didn't want to give up any more of that precious information after a while. I still need to learn to relax more during exams. I'm glad there were two other questions to bring my score up.
• 23 or less = F.  1 person.

Overall (120 points poss.)

• 108-120 points = A.  3 people ended up with here. There were no perfect scores.
• 96-107 points = B.  6 people, including me, got a score in this range. I got a total of 98 points. A low B. I can live with that but I can do better.
• 84-95 points = C. 12 people
• 72-83 points = D.  3 people
• 71 or less = F. No one.

The average score for out class was 90.4. The Rock Creek campus class averaged about 4 points less. The instructor said we did pretty well overall. The average male score was 86.6, while the average female score was 98.5. Quite a difference there. The three highest scores were 119 (male), 118 (female), and 110 (female). So I did a little better than the class average, a lot better than the average male, and about the same as the average female. There it is. That's all you get.
