<p>Not to mention, you can’t assume the students who got below a B on the tests didn’t study. They could have studied a week in advance with study groups and gone to office hours, and yet still ended up doing poorly. In my Bio class, when we had our first midterm, I began studying the moment the professor put the study guide for it up online. My classmates and I worked on it together through Google Docs, writing down our answers or explaining why another person’s answer would be incorrect. I still ended up with a high C on the test, and nearly everyone who had collaborated on the study guide via Google Docs got the same question (worth 9 points) wrong (and yes, ironically, the study guide we worked on via Google Docs was essentially THE midterm itself, although the midterm had fewer questions than the study guide, so if you did the study guide, you were set for the midterm) because we didn’t interpret a graph correctly.</p>
