| 00:02 | So how do you all? Um we're looking at today is a |
|
| 00:05 | very short video on your grades and they represent. So what we're looking |
|
| 00:11 | this particular chart is the exam distribution the first test, and you can |
|
| 00:17 | over here on the right side, have a list of the, uh |
|
| 00:22 | know, the stats for the So there's your average. It was |
|
| 00:26 | 61.8 standard deviation, 17 highest low grade. And what the medium |
|
| 00:32 | is there. And if you look this, you can kind of just |
|
| 00:35 | , it's like this is a really weird graph. This is actually |
|
| 00:39 | atypical of a semester. So I have a that are like |
|
| 00:43 | And then what you normally see is see, grades kind of do this |
|
| 00:45 | then kind of scroll down the simple bell curve. But we don't |
|
| 00:49 | that here, do we? it kind of has this. All |
|
| 00:53 | , here's our low, and then just kind of just sits up here |
|
| 00:56 | then kind of peters off, and kind of made me nervous when I |
|
| 01:00 | looked at it but, um, went and I took a look at |
|
| 01:05 | semesters. So the average that you're at here, I'm not upset with |
|
| 01:10 | . That's that's what I'm shooting I should for an average on my |
|
| 01:13 | between a 60 a 65. And that is something you don't understand, |
|
| 01:19 | want you to think about like If I have grades that air in |
|
| 01:22 | hundreds and I'm not really testing to out where the limited your knowledge |
|
| 01:27 | I need to find out. Am challenging you enough to think? And |
|
| 01:32 | if I'm getting hundreds, then I really pushed you all with regard to |
|
| 01:38 | your knowledge so that we have just couple of people out here. That's |
|
| 01:44 | we're trying to achieve. Remember Raising all the ink on the slide |
|
| 01:50 | look like a bell curve, You shouldn't have more than one or |
|
| 01:56 | maximum hundreds. If you see a like you see in some classes in |
|
| 02:02 | liberal arts, it might look something this where it's just kind of a |
|
| 02:08 | slow, and that's totally useless. doesn't tell you anything about whether or |
|
| 02:13 | . People have learned that just shows that they're capable of regurgitation. So |
|
| 02:18 | where's, you know? Like I , I saw this and it doesn't |
|
| 02:21 | that natural bell curve. You can we do have a tail down |
|
| 02:25 | We have that a tale, but is kind of this flat thing. |
|
| 02:29 | what I did, I wouldn't. look, I looked at other semesters |
|
| 02:33 | , uh, semester, where in this little in this graph is the |
|
| 02:36 | one and you can see there is average 61.87 But then you go and |
|
| 02:41 | at spring from last year, it a little bit higher. Spring grades |
|
| 02:44 | typically higher, but here in the , that's the average from last |
|
| 02:51 | So everything is in line. The is is that the performance isn't quite |
|
| 02:56 | well distributed. In other words, had a fatter tail. So let |
|
| 03:02 | just back up so you can kind see here racing kind of slide. |
|
| 03:05 | can see down here at the bottom . It was a little bit |
|
| 03:10 | and so I've been trying to figure what this actually means, and I |
|
| 03:15 | what it represents is just the format which people are learning. It's |
|
| 03:19 | very difficult to be a self all right, if we could self |
|
| 03:25 | , then we wouldn't have a need school. We would just do. |
|
| 03:28 | typically most people are lazy. This myself, you know, it takes |
|
| 03:34 | lot of effort for me to get to do stuff, and so |
|
| 03:38 | what you would see as you'd expect . A portion of this group really |
|
| 03:42 | of be up in this range. what's happened is because you're in an |
|
| 03:47 | environment, it's easy to turn your off. It's easy to see or |
|
| 03:52 | see where you're where you're not really attention, and it catches up with |
|
| 03:57 | in the end. So if you're yourself struggling, you need to make |
|
| 04:03 | a schedule and say, I will this. I will do this. |
|
| 04:07 | need to be in charge of the . Remember what I saw the first |
|
| 04:11 | of class. It's about time management becomes the main important part. So |
|
| 04:16 | you're if you find your grades down this range, all right, you |
|
| 04:19 | to first work on that time And then second, you need to |
|
| 04:23 | about how doe I manage, studying and learning material on my |
|
| 04:28 | And this is where those those slides gave you talking about how to study |
|
| 04:35 | important. All right, how to about studying. And so the idea |
|
| 04:39 | after each class I go, I and I listen to the lecture, |
|
| 04:43 | take notes. And then after each , I take those notes and I |
|
| 04:47 | him down. And I organize myself that I can, um, process |
|
| 04:52 | and store it longer so that when ultimately have to take the test when |
|
| 04:56 | preparing for it, I've already have that organization, and I have much |
|
| 05:01 | that information already stored in memory. haven't watched that video, or if |
|
| 05:05 | ignored my advice, this is the to go back and listen to All |
|
| 05:10 | . So here we are again, at the exams as as a comparison |
|
| 05:15 | that first exam in terms of averages online with regular semesters. Now, |
|
| 05:24 | talk about the overall grade that you're right now. So this is a |
|
| 05:29 | of what it looks like for your average. And remember, you can |
|
| 05:33 | your average in a very simple You just take your test average multiplied |
|
| 05:38 | 0.7 to take a quiz average multiplied 0.1. Take your paper grade. |
|
| 05:43 | , on. And for the you know, the only thing we |
|
| 05:45 | was to find the source is so you turn that in or starting out |
|
| 05:49 | sources, you all you have to is pick your topic to turn that |
|
| 05:52 | . That was 100. So the with this graph is that it's |
|
| 05:56 | heavily weighted in favor of the paper . So if you just if you |
|
| 06:01 | picture topic, you gotta hunt. got 18 points out of the out |
|
| 06:05 | 100 or for the whole thing. so, as you can imagine as |
|
| 06:09 | go along, as there is more more assignments, each assignment is going |
|
| 06:14 | be diluted in that so you're great not as strong. So right |
|
| 06:19 | this is kind of the breakdown. could see what I did to |
|
| 06:23 | My class fail right now is a . And so there is a portion |
|
| 06:27 | students for below that. And that mean that you're stuck there. You |
|
| 06:31 | easily bring yourself over that threshold. fact, most students do do |
|
| 06:38 | So make sure that you're doing all assignments. That means you're doing. |
|
| 06:43 | quiz is right. Every night you your reading, then you do your |
|
| 06:47 | and then you correct your quiz. you mean take it a second time |
|
| 06:51 | , answer any questions, you to try to bring yourself up to |
|
| 06:54 | higher grade. I always take the grade of the quizzes of the two |
|
| 06:58 | you did. All right. The thing is your test average Well, |
|
| 07:02 | you're gonna have to worry about on next exam. But you've taken this |
|
| 07:06 | . Don't need to worry about exam . Figure out why you're missing your |
|
| 07:11 | and and then make some adjustments to you study it again. I would |
|
| 07:14 | Go back and listen to how I study. But you can see here |
|
| 07:19 | does this? What does the great like? So a range right now |
|
| 07:23 | at about a 90. Alright. that's fairly typical. If I actually |
|
| 07:26 | the natural bell curve. It would way up here, and that wouldn't |
|
| 07:30 | fair. Anybody, So we don't that. It's just if the curve |
|
| 07:33 | favor you, then it doesn't It just stays as what would be |
|
| 07:37 | normal A. But you can see here the B range is a little |
|
| 07:43 | broader. It's not. It doesn't at 80. It starts at 77.5 |
|
| 07:47 | now and then the C range starts 63 then the rain starts at |
|
| 07:53 | Now moving from here to here over next couple of weeks is not hard |
|
| 07:58 | do. Moving from here to here not hard to do. Moving up |
|
| 08:03 | here gets a little bit more and obviously, moving up to there |
|
| 08:06 | a little bit more difficult. But not impossible. So if you're if |
|
| 08:10 | dissatisfied with your great right now, you gotta do is do some self |
|
| 08:16 | . It's basically what am I doing ? What am I doing wrong? |
|
| 08:20 | do I make corrections? And then hardest part is then actually doing the |
|
| 08:25 | , making those changes in your lifestyle your study habits to achieve your |
|
| 08:30 | All right. People who are successful necessarily the biggest and the brightest. |
|
| 08:35 | the ones that recognize how to adjust modify their behavior to achieve their |
|
| 08:42 | All right, so that's what you be doing here is making those |
|
| 08:46 | I saw a lot of people here those quizzes that you're just kind of |
|
| 08:50 | them off, and that's gonna you that's gonna kill you. It's gonna |
|
| 08:54 | you up, you know? it's just 10% of my great |
|
| 08:57 | but over the course of semester, That's the difference between A and B |
|
| 09:01 | being a C and A D N C even a nothing to be |
|
| 09:06 | So you wanna you want to be those quizzes, so make sure you're |
|
| 09:10 | the reading by doing the reading. preparing you for the lectures which is |
|
| 09:15 | you for the exams. Everything is . Finally, the easy thing to |
|
| 09:21 | screw up on is not doing the evaluations. Alright, so each of |
|
| 09:27 | things are a little tiny points. right now you have, like 0.25 |
|
| 09:33 | . I can't remember what it You know, that makes up |
|
| 09:36 | but because it's 100% of your I'm giving you the full 1000.18 But |
|
| 09:41 | now, that one great is only worth about 10.25 points of your final |
|
| 09:46 | . So you can imagine the next is gonna increase the next time increases |
|
| 09:50 | increases. And if you fair to failed to do the peer evaluations and |
|
| 09:55 | of them are due on Tuesday or , I actually when they pulled up |
|
| 09:59 | take a look so I don't make mistake here. Um, yeah, |
|
| 10:03 | all due on Tuesday, Tuesday at , after each assignment. So you |
|
| 10:08 | turn in your sources in theory, time. And so you're going to |
|
| 10:14 | those assignments, turn you turn them now going to your peer evaluations, |
|
| 10:19 | then you get to keep your If you don't do the peer |
|
| 10:21 | you lose the points for that all right? And if you don't |
|
| 10:25 | an assignment, you don't get to the peer evaluations. It's a simple |
|
| 10:28 | that so today, while you're since listening to this video right after this |
|
| 10:35 | , I'm going to go do my evaluations and get it done. All |
|
| 10:38 | , and then start working on the time. So moving forward, This |
|
| 10:42 | not the time to panic. So no panicking. What we do is |
|
| 10:46 | evaluate. We assess, we make and adjustments, and we bring ourselves |
|
| 10:52 | . I'd love to see everybody get great. Right? That's what I'd |
|
| 10:55 | to see everybody and remember, because are curves. You These values are |
|
| 11:00 | to change after each exam, so sit there at the end of special |
|
| 11:04 | waiting. You said to be with 77 everyone improves that grade is gonna |
|
| 11:10 | . All right, so keep that mind, but that that's all you |
|
| 11:15 | to know about the tests, You , um, just get yourself |
|
| 11:19 | We're moving into unit to and hope stays nice and |
|
