As I am sometimes a tad harsher than I should be in grading exams, I factored in a bonus by making the different sections of the test add up to 102 total points instead of 100. (20 x 3, plus 14 x 3).
Everyone passed. The average grade was just below a B (2.92 on a scale of 4.00).
Students who have participated more actively in the class discussion, office hours, and the blog homework tended to score higher. This didn't surprise me, and it shouldn't surprise you. It's not a question of me favoring them... I grade the test more or less anonymously because I compare all the answers to each question and I don't look to see whose I'm grading. These are just the students who are getting more out of the class, basically.
