EECS 391/491: Final Exam Post-Mortem
[Created by MSB]
Each problem--and the entire final--has a distribution and
6-tuple of statistics for 391+491 students (N=33+3=36), quoted as
[NUMBER_OF_POINTS points (HIGH, 1ST_QUARTILE, MEDIAN, 3RD_QUARTILE, LOW)]
An asterisk next to the LOW datum indicates an outlier was removed.
Entire Final [200 points (188, 165, 149, 129, 101**)]

Most of the problems were quite doable, with medians in the 20s out of 25.
Problems 2 (alpha-beta pruning), 5 (programming portion) and 8
(part c in particular) were the only ones that a majority struggled with.
The distribution was as follows:
