Topic	Well my professor is an asshole
Hexagon 02/27/18 8:04:01 PM #36:	IllegalAlien posted... Hexagon posted... I find it hard to believe that the graders don't have time to analyze it. Homework in high level classes in science and engineering is typically a few questions. And this is abstract algebra, if they didn't analyze your methodology, what did they analyze? Unless the professor made it clear in class what was expected you shouldn't have left with the excuse that TA's didn't have time to analyze. It's their job to analyze. Have you ever tried grading nothing but proofs for 40+ students? It's like grading undocumented program code. Anytime someone does a clever trick or just straight up does some random reasoning it takes 5-10 minutes to try to figure out if it's right or just bullshit. When a TA makes a mistake, its the duty of the professor to acknowledge the mistake of the TA and awards points when they are due with a warning for next time. That's why I said unless the professor made it clear in class was was expected. The whole point of homework is to practice for exams. Saying "well the TA marked it wrong it's" is not the students fault for doing his/her part. Why would any reasonable persons change their approach for a problem when they got the marks in the mock exam? And for the record no, the highest math I took was ODEs/Calc III (chemical engineering) <cite>Hexagon posted [p:896891547] in Well my pr...
