A modified Glauber method proposed recently for electron-atom scattering is extended to the analysis of the 1-2 excitation of atomic hydrogen by electron impact. Exchange effects are not neglected, but included in the calculation through the exact eikonal exchange formulas. The results are compared with experimental data acquired by absolute measurements. Good agreement with experimental data is found. The differential cross sections calculated with the conventional Glauber amplitude, but without neglecting the exact eikonal exchange effects, are also obtained and shown for comparison.
