<p>My GSI just told us that the average for the first midterm was 76. He hasn't posted our scores yet but I thought that Bio 1B usually had a higher average than that...</p>
<p>that sounds about right for the first midterm (Feldman)</p>
<p>Feldman’s midterm is the hardest. Last year the average was about 80 and the year before it was 75.</p>
<p>Slatkin/Huelsenbeck always gave the easiest tests of the three spring professors, but now Moritz has replaced them. Just an FYI, I had a Moritz for IB 160 last semester, and his midterm was the hardest of the three for that class; I would envision that his Bio 1B test would be fairly difficult, so study hard for it.</p>
<p>If I recall correctly, Resh’s average should be around 80%.</p>
<p>Bio 1B professors appear to be in the process of being reshuffled. Apparently for fall, the only professor determined is Moritz again</p>
<p>for carlssson plants last fall, the avg was around 77-so that sounds right</p>
<p>My friend who took Carlson said that his average was more like ~85. So the average is a 76 and no curve? Total BS! Bio 1A had like a 60-70 something average and there was a pretty nice curve IMO.</p>
<p>It’ll end up being curved if like <10% of people are in the A range towards the end. They always make it fit the expected grade distributions even if they say they don’t curve.</p>
