CSUS CSC 130 First Midterm Exam Grades

The first midterm grades from my class this semester are in; it was a bloodbath:

	Section One	Section Two
80+	3	3
70-79	3	3
60-69	7	5
50-59	11	9
49-	7	6
Average	58.81	59.62
Standard Deviation	12.84	15.48

Maximum possible points were 100. Out of 57 test takers: 6 earned better than a B (11%); 6 earned a C (11%); 12 earned a D (21%); and 33 earned an F (58%). The test counts for 15% of the final grade.

To repeat: 60% failed using a scale of 90+ = A, 80-90 = B, and so forth.
