If you score a 60% on the exam (which would not be bad at all), you would get an extra 0.9% added to your overall grade, which could easily make a B+ an A-, for example.<br /><br />I got behind today (housework needed doing) but will post the details tomorrow.<br /><br />There is no real down side, it will be pure extra credit so long as you score *something* on the exam. The only real loss is an hour or two of your time.pleclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263994015241270268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282294016826326878.post-11249812371098814202010-04-24T15:27:49.504-05:002010-04-24T15:27:49.504-05:00What if we dont need extra credit on homework?

That might translate in moving from (say) a C+ to a B-. I will try and post the details today. <br /><br />EE majors can take the test, anyone currently enrolled in a 200+ level physics class is welcome.pleclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263994015241270268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282294016826326878.post-1597530809469469672010-04-23T09:38:33.792-05:002010-04-23T09:38:33.792-05:00Can EE majors take this test as well?Can EE majors take this test as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2282294016826326878.post-22107659503934137332010-04-23T09:27:10.112-05:002010-04-23T09:27:10.112-05:00how much extra credit would be given for taking th...how much extra credit would be given for taking the exam?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
