I've just emailed all of you your exam 2 grades. Apologies for the form letter, but even with a small class this is a tedious task ... if you didn't get a grade emailed to you, let me know.
Overall, it came out well - the average was about 82%, and I think most of you will be relatively happy. The average of the first two exams is about 73%, and in particular many of you that didn't do so well on the first one showed significant improvement. Almost everyone improved, some of you by significant amounts. At this point, we will have to decide if, based on the average exam 1 & 2 scores, any scaling is necessary.
Anyway: well done! Solutions to exams 1 & 2 will show up soon so you can use them to study for the final. Since there is not much new material covered between exam 2 and the final, exam 1 + exam 2 gives you a good idea of what to expect for the final.

Just covered Poynting's theorem in PH332. Recognized it from Day 2 of Optics. So much for "We're not going to spend much time calculating the radiation signals from moving charges. You'll be spending much of the semester doing that in Physics 332." N.B.: This is not a complaint about 495.
ReplyDeleteHuh ... my imagination of the PH332 schedule is somewhat optimistic I guess.
