This post outlines the in-person part of Exam 2. See the Practicum 2 or Practicum 2 Update posts for details on the other parts.
- Modules covered: 06 – 08
- When: Wednesday 4/2, during regular class time
- A calculator is strongly recommended. But if you forget, you will be okay because no exact calculations are required.
- The formulas you will need are printed on the exam’s front page. See an example on the study exam.
- Code on the exam
- The data set used for this exam is Seaborn’s diamonds data set. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the columns’ meanings.
- It will have code reading (so know what these functions do), in particular:
- The results of calling the describe function on a data set.
- The results of a seaborn function call: groupby and pivot_table
- All other details are the same as In-person Exam 1’s logistics, including:
- You will not write code.
- We will release a study exam and Canvas study quiz.
- 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.
