I take back many of the bad things I said about economics. It seems it has its uses after all.
I spent an hour or two on the weekend reading Freakonomics. Definitely a fun read and there’s absolutely nothing about economics in there, which is the fun part. Okay, well, to be honest I would know nothing about anything in there that’s even kind of linked to economics. They say ignorance is bliss. :biggrin:
That saying, of course, is completely invalid when it comes to midterms. I got my inorganic chem midterm back this morning, and well… let’s just say I haven’t seen this much scaling since first-year physics. No, I take that back. I haven’t seen this much scaling since Math HL. My mark went up by nearly thirty percent. (To let you have an idea of how bad it was, the raw average was a whopping 42%. Go us.) It was so bad they had to scale us twice – first by making the midterm out of eight fewer marks, and then when that still wasn’t enough, by boosting everyone’s scores by another ten percent. And this got the class average up to about 60.
