I need to email prof again, question about test answers

[CrAz3D]

I just finished my last human sexuality test and I am mother fuking mad.

One of the questions I glanced at after finishing was marked wrong, I went back in my book and double checked (I knew I got it right).  Sure enough, I got it right, but the "correct answer" was also a right answer when I flipped through the book some more.

I am now questioning the validity of all of my previous tests.  I have no faith in this system.


How do I word all off this nicely but very strongly in an email?

Recent evidence suggests a link between ________ and premature rupture of the amniotic sac and preterm labor during pregnancy

A candidiasis
B bacterial vaginosis (correct answer)
C trichomoniasis (what I selected)
D chlamydia

The book reads under bacterial vasginosis:
"...including premature rupture of the amniotic sac and preterm labor"
The book reads under trichomoniasis:
"...infection in pregnant women is also associated with premature rupture of the amniotic sac and preterm delivery"


What do you think?

Who gives a fuck? It's one problem. Simply question it. Don't be an asshole.

"Hi, the correct answer was B, but according to the book, C is nearly the same exact thing."

You're in college to learn, right? If all else fails, you'll learn why C isn't the right answer.

I figure I'll just hold off 'til I get the grade on my paper back.  One question won't bump me from C to B, but if I later I wish to push for that extra bump to maintain a B then I can just question the validity of all tests.  As it stands, I think I'll get the grade I want on the paper, though

[Newby]

Question it now. Don't appear to be a grade-grubber. :|

[Ergot]

Yes, but B is the more correct answer. Should have read more careful.

If we're talking about unfair test questions, you should have been at my O. Chem. lab final. Seriously, we were supposed to correct an instrument set up we didn't use or learn about at all.

He was testing your omniscience. You failed!

RTFM!

This just in... Profs are people too, and they make mistakes sometimes!
You should always double check your wrong answers, that's something I've been taught for years.

And incidentally, you are supposed to pick the "best" answer, which means there can be more thab one correct answer. Lame, but eh?

yup they are people. in fact yesterday we had some free time in math class and that is very rare, so our class bombarded our math teacher with questions about his life. it was both awkward and fun.

True, but would you really think that it'd be B over C ... I figure that's pretty 50/50 there, only a couple of words difference and they dont change the meaning of anything ... oh well

Well, it could be a mistake. There are two possibilities. :)
