We’ve completed the grading of the Take-Home exam. There were a number of corrections to the raw scores that were appropriate on review of the exam results and also several emails from students. All increased your score. They are as follows:
Calculated Questions
- VistaBb had a bug that marked a number of your answers wrong when it shouldn’t have. All these were corrected manually.
- For the soil pressure calculation the wording wasn’t clear whether there was water in the ground. I therefore allowed the calculation with and without water.
- I also reviewed all the answers for the full set of calculated questions and gave partial credit in a number of cases for answers close to the acceptable range.
Multiple Choice Questions
The questions noted below had ambiguities in their phrasing or used information that may not have been available everyone. In these cases everyone who didn’t get the “right” answer received 90% credit (2.0 out of 2.2). The questions were:
- EER- Energy Efficiency Ratio
- Revit Features
- Revit Type
- Role of Senior Design Advisor
- Tacony-Palmyra Bridge Opening
- Use of Energy in Buildings
Paragraph Answer Questions
I went through and ensured that you got the maximum credit for all your attempts as on the highest-marked answer.
