Final Marks Distribution
November 19, 2017
Midterm Exam Results
The average is a bit low, but don't panic. The assignment marks are very high. The final exam will have a similar format and the same level of difficulty. Make sure to carefully read each question and along with the possible responses. The distractors have real content so you need to carefully consider your selection.
Again, don't panic if you didn't get the result you wanted on the midterm exam. There is still a lot of ground to cover!
