Think good thoughts...Getting my Econometrics midterm back at 1
Just talked to Prof. Huge curve, people did really poorly in general, which doesn't surprise me. She said that my friend and I did "reasonably well". I don't really know what that means.

:scared:

1. (((vibes))))
"reasonably well" can mean so many different things, especially when people did so poorly.

:hug: I am sure you ruined the curve....

5. That means don't worry about it
especially if there's a huge curve.

6. I would guess that reasonably well means you'll be fine after the curve

12. It's my experience that Profs speak in absolutes.
if you did reasonably well that means your raw score was probably above 70, meaning you're likely towards the high-end of the curve if the curve is as big as you make it sound.
