per_soloAlgebra...82%. And mine was one of the higher (Top 1/3, actually...maybe little higher).
Apparently, NO one did REALLY well on this last test. The jackass behind me keeps joking about why he's not doing well in this class...there are points where you just want to point out "Well, the fact that you talk through class might not have anything to do with it, so I have no idea", but no...
The girl next to me just isn't getting some of this, which is rough. I *think* I know what I'm doing, but not well enough to explain it to her..add in the fact that my brain makes leaps, and that doesn't help.
So far in the class? Average of the tests for me is an A. Homework is the same..Midterm *SHUDDER* is next Friday.
This test was so bad, for so many, that the teacher essentially gave us an easy 10 point bonus that we need to show her before the midterm, for it to be added to our previous tests. So, out of 200, I have 182...add 10, 192...
Easy? HELL no. I got out of the test Monday, and on the drive home, realized how I'd hosed 2 questions (One needed a dotted line, both needed shading), and one of the bonus questions. Fortunately, in showing my work on the problems? The ones I've missed have been half points. But, parts of this are sticking.
Now, today, we started going over exponents...like what happens when you have an exponent of 0, or division with negative exponents. Was ok with that, only got hosed in figuring scientific notation conversions later.
Not a whole lot else going on...still haven't started Firefly again...need to see this weeks' "Heroes", and was catching up on a show I didn't get to see the end of last season. Am going to see how it ends, then figure whether it's worth picking up this season..we'll see.
Also, for those interested, Corman's "Fantastic Four" is apparently showing at Key Cinemas, this Friday at 10:00. :-P
