Reason number 281 I should transfer to a smaller school: Less students=higher chance an actual person will grade my work=greater chance I get credit regardless of formatting errors.
Which leads me to the subject of today's blog.
Dumb mistakes in math are going to be the death of me this year.
I understand the concepts, but just because I entered "x=-7 x=0" INSTEAD OF "x=-7, x=0" the computer counted the whole problem wrong. Can you even see the mistake at first glance???
It is a fact that the ONLY points I have lost in that class this year are due to small errors like that, I can show you all of my assignments!! ...well other than that attendance quiz mentioned in the previous blog...BUT!
Its a total and complete injustice to me as a student. No one will ever know that I have completely mastered the concepts of this class, because my grade will not reflect that, it will reflect my inability to mark a scantron and 'properly enter my answers' for some computer to grade.
So this is me saying a big, GET REAL MATH 150! And a big, GET REAL NUMERICAL GRADING SYSTEM, and GET REAL COMPUTERIZED GRADING!
That is all.
