Congrats to you and your students. Mine did MUCH better on a second exam this 
semester also. As I tried to figure out why they did relatively poorly on the 
first exam I thought that the events of 9-11 and the aftereffects may have had 
some influence. So we talked about it in class, really pretty briefly, but it 
seemed just to break a lot of ice lal around.

ps: the only failure on this exam was a failure by a student on the previous 
exam and so it's back to the drawing board to draw her back into the 
fold.....she's not getting off so easy :-)
