Some stats:
Final average score, without curve: 73.6%
This is higher than average score for midterm 1 (60%), midterm 2 (68%).
After the promised curve, the final score is 82%.
About the length:
The question paper had spaces provided to guide you on length of the answer. This was the protocol followed throughout the semester.
Many of you forget our usual formula – 1 line per point, or may be 1.5 to 2.
But most completely disregarded that, just felt like writing on and on. I saw 4 page answer to 10 point questions, 1.5 page answer to 3 point questions, and 20+ lines for a 2 point question.
There were 14 pages in the question paper - no one should have used more than 8 answer sheets. Instead, the minimum used were 14 and the maximum was 30+.
So in conclusion, on average, people wrote twice as much as they needed to. You could have easily saved 1+ hours of writing time and invested that into thinking time.
Good luck. Enjoy your summer.
