  • You may bring one piece of paper as a helper sheet and can put things on the front and back.

Grading Scale and Points Allocation

This is the same as Exam 1’s logistics in that problems are graded on an ESNU scale. How many points each rubric level is worth depends on the question. A question’s worth depends on how many questions in the exam are testing the same concept (more questions for that concept means fewer points for each question). The goal is that an exam with only S’s on every question results in a 90% because it indicates a Satisfactory level of understanding of all the concepts the exam is testing, rather than Exemplary.
