Calc, Algebra, nothing, they want it all done by hand. I don't get a calculator for ANY of my math courses. Just because you can punch buttons on your calculator doesn't mean you understand any of it.Įven this is considered lucky at my school. All i get to use is a standard scientific calculator. I'm surprised the professor even lets you use a Ti89. It isn't that hard to show all of your work. Baz wrote:Sounds like you are taking Calc I. So basically, I can get all the answers and know what's going on, but because I don't have every single line on my paper, I'm doing horrible. I was literally teaching a woman with a PhD, fucking ridiculous.

I had to come up with a whole sheet of proofs and she still wouldn't give me full credit because I didn't write on the paper the second derivative (triple in this case), even when everyone knows that a negative sign in front of the highest power determines if you have a max or min function (was cubic, x + x^2 -x^3, gives a max). I even came up with my own method to find answers (inflection points being critical values, where decreasing returns to scale goes into effect) and the dumb bitch thought I was wrong. So I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of anyone buying this program?Įven though I can find all the answers on my calculator already, sometimes I just don't know the middle steps and I get fucking marked down to shit. Ok, so I'm floundering in my Econ 507 class cause of baby mama drama, too many units (18) and other shit going on in my life.
