This is why I hate my math class...

moam	Date: April 27, 2008 @ 1:44 PM Okay...look at the "correct solution". Now look at what I answered. The ONLY difference between both answers was that I finished off the equation with a "}" like I'm supposed to when I'm actually writing it out. I got the WHOLE problem marked wrong because the computer couldn't compute that last "}" that I added at the end. My professor is a lazy sack of douche and makes us take these fucking obnoxious online quizzes and if you get one single mark different than what the computer is looking for, you get the whole fucking problem wrong. That means that I gotta spend yet ANOTHER 20 or 30 mins on this quiz to retake it, because the computer fucked up. ARG!!! Seriously. If there's anything I truly TRULY hate...its NOT math, I've learned its "MathXL", the fucking program he makes us use... God damn. Turkey bastards...
hantu	Date: April 27, 2008 @ 1:50 PM I've never actually tried turkey before. And yes, that is stupid, bring it up with him, start a riot.
Mojosnake	Date: April 27, 2008 @ 1:51 PM yeah ... cause we all now just aint like
hantu	Date: April 27, 2008 @ 1:54 PM Actually i'm not too keen on chicken so maybe i really should try turkey. And you know at least the interface is easy on the eye.
Mojosnake	Date: April 27, 2008 @ 1:56 PM is ALWAYS easy on the eye and well other places.... i've said too much
moam	Date: April 27, 2008 @ 2:15 PM well, just retook it and got a perfect...but i still wasted time because of that shitty ass site
Tattoomom	Date: April 27, 2008 @ 2:18 PM Once I had to take a logic class in college. You had to show your logical sequence. I always got the correct answer but my logical sequence was exactly backward somehow. I said to the professor, "but I have the right answer" and he said "If it isn't done my way then it is wrong.". I asked him what was the right way to suck my dick and to prove his logical sequence and then promptly switched my math class to consumer math.... Fuck that guy.

I hope that was Bill Rhynes talking Sorry Crystal, had to be said But yeah, fuck math, and fuck obnoxious professors.
Tattoomom	Date: April 27, 2008 @ 2:22 PM I mean...math is math right? 27 is 27 no matter how you come up with it, right? MAN! That guy still pisses me off....I hope he's sitting somewhere right now wondering if I really did have a dick and how he could logically disprove that....
Opossum	Date: April 27, 2008 @ 6:15 PM Well, I've seen quite a few online educational sites, including certain software behavior, that have or result in errors - and this includes mathematics, but the errors are usually obvious - and I never count them when grading - as that makes no sense to do so. Still, every now and then, I see a screw-up so big, I can only sit and stare, wondering what the ---- it is supposed to be. There is a supposedly widely used (and recommended) workbook series here and the one I've seen for 5th graders is so ambiguous and messed-up, it defies imagination. There is one problem that states "Measure the strands of hair" - only problem being that there AREN'T any strands of hair shown, only badly sketched bottles with such as "46 fleas", "104 fleas", etc. I don't want to make any remarks about the overall weirdly ambiguous and crap quality of a particular resource/state this was from, as I don't want to offend anyone. On a world-wide scale, there are about two places that outstandingly seem 200 years behind in some educational aspects, one in US, one in Australia.
zedsalt	Date: April 28, 2008 @ 3:25 AM Much the same way, I frustrated my Drafting teacher to no end in High School. I never really "got" the process, so I'd freehand the work, then put in the reference marks we were supposed to "leave in". And that "D" didn't hurt my grade average too awfully much. My favorite story about a logic class: A professor sets a chair in the middle of the lecture hall stage and tells his students, "This test consists of one problem. Write an essay to convince me that this chair does NOT exist." One student quickly scribbled something in his essay book, handed it in, and walked out. His answer was, "What chair?"

Mojosnake	Date: May 10, 2008 @ 6:07 PM this isnt a i hate math topic this is a i hate math SOFTWARE topic
moam	Date: May 10, 2008 @ 6:08 PM Well, I hate math... simple as that
Mojosnake	Date: May 11, 2008 @ 4:09 AM gets naked how like that math....
