Dear Students,

We are done with the grading.

You can pick up your graded exam either this Thursday or Friday after the lectures. Furthermore, the solution sheet for the mid term exam is now available here on moodle. 

Tomorrow Prof. Urbanke will also briefly discuss a few stats regarding the scores. Already a remark from my side: if you managed to get around half of the points, you did reasonably well...


Best,

Thomas

I just uploaded a histogram of the scores on the moodle page.

A few more stats:
avg. score: 15.3
median score: 14.5
std. deviation: 6.3

Of course the grading at the end of the course (mid term + homeworks + final exam) will be based on your performance compared to you peers, not the maximum number of points.

Hence, in order to get a feel of how well you did in the mid term, you should also not compare your obtained score to the maximum score (35), but rather to where you are placed within the histogram.
