You might want to start thinking about anger management classes...

Holy shit I'm pissed off.
My diff EQ teacher gave me 0% credit for a 15% problem when I got the RIGHT answer doing it the RIGHT way. Just not HIS way. That isn't the only discrepancy on this test, just the worst. I got a D on it when if my last teacher graded it, it would have been at LEAST an A-.
Most of these comments are a good description of him: http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=505879&page=2
Right now where I live, it's "Spit goes 'clink' cold", and that's a slightly cold winter day (and my spit doesn't go 'clink', I've tried).
Well, keep in mind that I work in a funny field. In IT Security, academics write all kinds of great papers and proofs that have absolutely no relevance in the real world, while people who aren't from academic backgrounds (often who have never taken a class) write all kinds of great papers and do tons of research that directly applies.
There's a huge disconnected between academics/non-academics in IT Security. Nobody at the place I work has a degree, for example, and they're considered at the top of their game.
I mostly wanted to build a post around making fun of the complex arguments thing
Failed my first physics midterm. Pretty miserably. I don't even have the results and I know I failed it miserably.
Talking to a lot of the kids in the class, they think they failed it too. Suddenly it makes sense why he curves top 30% of the class at the end to an 'A' no matter what your percent.
Maybe physics isn't for me? Maybe the honors class isn't for me? :/
