Random interlude: The metrics of an exam result
We had our first random Photoshop exam last week. We received our results yesterday (Sunday). For lack of anything better to do before I have food in my belly, I’ll break down the metrics:
Limitations:
- Our aggregate score was based on two differently-weighted components – the theory and the practical. I am just looking at the aggregate, rather than looking at how everyone did on the different portions.
- I am also only using non-0% scores. A 0% represents somebody who missed the exam. If you turned up and made an effort, you were scored.
