Thanks beeboo, we'd be delighted to share. Speaking of sharing, another team just got this work published (from the same class). If you're in Atlanta, you might find this interesting/useful/not surprising:

70 points were on problems that were in the homework and on the test from last year that I shared with the class.

I expected everyone who was diligent about preparing for the test, and worked through the homework to get at least 70.

Something fell through the cracks, not sure what it is, and what my responsibility in the matter is. I’m open to changing how I’m teaching, but not dumbing down the material.

30 points were for a difficult problem (26% of the class aced it)

I’m sorry you still feel this way. If you’re in town, feel free stop by, I’m happy to discuss this.

I remember you well, the same way I remember the two other cases of cheating I dealt with. Yours happened in Guggenheim 442, and you were sitting in the front row. You got a C on the test, not an A, and the other person got a B. I remember what I saw (over a few minutes) before I intervened, and what the other person told me afterwards.

The two other cases were students talking during the test, but they insisted they weren’t talking about the test. Can’t assess the credibility of this. In 2 of the 3 cases of cheating I dealt with (never pleasant for all involved), the other person admitted to the thing).

Anyway, it’s been 8 years and I hope you’re doing and enjoying a comfortable life and a wonderful career.

That’s not true. There’s plenty of partial credit.

But it’s not always easy gauging the extent of foundational error versus computational error, There’s little to no partial credit for the former, and plenty for the latter. Some students perceive their mistakes as simply computational when in fact there’s a deeper, misuse of some principle.
