bladegash 07/19/18 11:26:47 PM #1:	Took a fucking exam, 10 questions, 10 points each... some questions had 2 portions (5a, 5b) that were 2 different problems worth 5 a piece. okay, cool. I'M READY. first question, find all complex zeros of a polynomial. show all work. I do it, (long ass stupid fucking problem where you show a shit ton of trial and error) and the end result was 6 different zeros. I got the sign on the last two complex zeros wrong. 5/10 points for that problem. Okay, bogus that i did everything right except fuck up on the sign when when doing the quadratic formula for the two complex zeros and only got half credit.. whatever. ROLL FORTH. Every other problem on the test, I got all the answers right. But when we graph poly/rational/inverse functions and asymptotes (which was practically the next 7 problems), I write HA=1, VA=3 next to the asymptotes (to which he never even specified to do, i was just trying to be an over achiever)... He takes off 2 points for not writing HA: Y=1, VA: X=3... 14 points deducted bc of not writing the x&y with the asymptote, while most of the class got even worse for not writing it on the graph at all (even tho it was in their 'show the work' portion). Less than half the class ended up with a C, a and couple of Bs.... and the majority of the class failed the exam when most of the answers were correct and even showed the work... but bc of the technicality everyone is getting 1 or 2 letter grades lower on our exams. This is the second time where he has given us an exam and took points off for bogus little shit that he was never specific about and the majority of the class ended up with a bad (or at least a letter lower) grade, over stuff like writing 1 1/2 instead of 3/2 when he never said anything about it the whole semester. And the whole damn class is getting the bulk of the solving, if not all of it, completely right. Fuck you professor. I am going to fill the fuck out of that stupid feedback form we get at the end of the semester. --- Snappin necks & Cashin checks <cite>bladegash posted [p:905391137] in God my col...

It's not really a statement about the quality of a school or anything, but rather the national standards set for math achievement in high school. In addition, the SAT/ACT covers math up but not including calculus (Geometry, Algebra 1-2, Trig) and these tests are developed to test explicitly high school knowledge.

On the other questions, I would deduct points for HA=_, VA=_, but not seven times. Do you understand why it's important to put HA: y=_ though? Yes and no. I mean, i put HA=# on the X-axis right next to the dotted line I drew that covered all y=#, while i put VA=# up top next to the vertical dotted line that covered all x=#. My point was tho, it was never even specified to do. Not on the test nor verbally. --- Snappin necks & Cashin checks <cite>bladegash posted [p:905501663] in God my col...

Yeah, that seems like a pretty bad rubric for the first question. You even wrote the correct formula, so you essentially lost 5 points for putting 4 instead of -4... which after having you do a bunch of instances of synthetic division seems like it's not worth half the points. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:905502585] in God my col...

Not that Uncle Choad is morally right (because it's not your fault if your school didn't cover something), but if it was anytime in the last 20 years, your school was deficient in mathematics.
