<p>^^^^^^^^^^^^I believe you are missing the point.</p>
<p>1) Just b/c the average was a 42 does not mean that ‘over half the people in the class’ didn’t understand the material.</p>
<p>That could be the best-educated class at Carolina. They probably understood the material quite well going into the test.</p>
<p>THE TEST WAS FORMULATED TO BE REALLY HARD. THE PEOPLE WHO WROTE THE TEST WROTE IT TOO HARD.</p>
<p>There must be a disconnect from a) knowing the material and b) getting a 42 on the exam. IF the mean was a 42, then the test was waaaaaaaay too hard for anyone to really show what they know. </p>
<p>This shapes the professor and the students for the next exam.</p>
<p>I really believe this. </p>
<p>Just keep going is all I’m saying. Your son knows that stuff well and he’s going to do well on the next test and he’s going to do well in the class.</p>
