Our class average definitely dropped with this last quiz. I don't know how everyone did, but I do know that other than mine, there were two scores in the 30's and one in the 70's. I haven't talked with the other 4 students to see how they did. Somehow, and I have no idea how as unprepared as I was, I managed a 100%. I don't feel good about it though. I strongly suspect that many of the answers I got were through sheer dumb luck.
It seems on the carbon dating one, we all got the wrong answer because he not only missed whatever it was regarding the decimal point, but he also forgot to tell us that we had to have paranthesis around key parts of the formula or else the whole thing would be flubbed. And boy were we flubbed!
We will definitely be getting together this weekend for a study session. Our final is a week from Monday, so we may get together a time or two after that to prepare.
OK, now I've gotten that out of my system, I need to go find some strong antihistamine to get the inside of my ears and my eyes to stop itching like crazy!
