ENEL 369 Winter 2000 Midterm Statistics and Letter Grade Information

REMARK

    Test scores were very high.  I am pleased to see that most of
    you did well on the test, but you should be aware that in
    hindsight, I think the test was too easy--there weren't enough
    questions to test for superior understanding of the course
    material.  You should expect some of the questions on the final
    exam to be significantly more challenging than the midterm
    questions.
