Lec 10 MIT 3.091 Introduction to Solid State Chemistry

A couple of comments about the test. You should have gotten your test back yesterday. And here is the way things panned out. We have a class average of about 77%. I said settle down. Perhaps you think you have come to math or physics. This is 3.091 and we have standards here. 77% is class average and the standard deviation was 17%, so you can see where things lie. 50% is a pass. Congratulations, a lot of people put in the effort and there is some learning going on. While at the same time as I say congratulations, I want to remind you that I think it comes as no surprise given the lateness of Labor Day this year that this first test came rather early and for many of you much of this material you had seen in high school. Perhaps the data rate was a little bit faster than you were accustomed to, but you had some familiarity. Please don't, if you are up here, become complacent because a month from now we will have another test. And I think you will wish you are continuing...
