first question and secound question were ok i guess.... but why do you do a cournotmodel with 3 people instead of 2 i dont get it.... and the question relating to coase theorem and the grading scheme were totally random.... i dont understand why last week your exam from july was calculated and you upload exercices that have hardly anything to do with the exam yesterday.
If first and secound try were 40% why should the last try be 50%? that doesnt make any sense, i think you should stick to the 40% to be fair!
next semester- different story but if you grade 2 exams with 40% it only makes sense to grade the 3rd with 40% as well, no matter how "easy" it was!
i totally agree with you....the preparation lecture with chris scharrer (last week) was nice and funny, but it had no relevance concerning this 3rd exam...... even though the coase/silber/cournot questions are not very difficult in fact....but we don't know how to think about it to get the right solution.....if you look at examples in book/slides/seminars you can't find many relations to the ones in this test.
in a few days, after having looked at the "musterlösungen" in e-campus we all will think "it was not so tricky as it seemed to be"......but in the atmosphere of a test, being confronted with such crazy examples for the first time, it's nearly impossible to get enough right answers to be positive......
and that's the heavy fact: even if you study the whole book/slides/ps-examples/old tests and preparation examples (which where ridiculously simple) you don't have the chance to get a 4.0!! we're not talking about how to reach a nice grade......only a 4!!!! that's HARD :roll:

This is precisely what you are supposed to learn in Uni - how to apply your theoretical knowledge to practical problems that you face in real life. If you cannot apply micro theory anywhere, then why to study it at all?

i agree with your point.....but we didn't learn to solve such problems during the semester.....the examples in the proseminar are much easier and absolutely different......if you look at the additional examples uploaded last week - they have nothing to do with the ones in your test!!! - do you know what i mean.....we have no material to learn how to solve your tricky questions.....that's the point :roll:

Yes but real life and exam is something different. Doing the exercise at home probably much more students would be aware of the traps which were in the exam, and they were some in the last one.
It just can't be possible when u do 2 or 3 "Leichtssinsfehler" that it is almost impossible to pass the exam.
A careless mistake doesn't mean that u didn't understand the theory.

You show all the signs of getting addicted to 40% (which is ridiculously low). You should not be afraid of 50%. A worse thing may happen... I think it would be fair to raise the bar to 70% this time so that the average passing grade across all three exams remains at 50%. That might be completely fair...
