Dear Professor:
I also noticed the big discrepancy between the regular and makeup exam. I prepared the data about the two exams in a table as an attached file. As can be seen, the makeup exam was given at 4 pm on Fri. IMHO, the students who took the makeup exam may have a weekend plan and, as a result, may have not concentrated on the exam. And, they may misunderstand the meaning of the questions without board examples, although I considered them not necessary at that time. Also, the temperature was 28'c, much higher than 20'c, the temperature when the regular exam was given. Maybe this hotter environment made the students feel uncomfortable so that they were not able to focus their attention on the exam very well. What can we do?
Best regards,
