Yeah, but college professors (that I've had) emphasize getting the methodology correct (as in, getting all the steps of solving the problem correct) rather than the answer because they know that humans make mistakes and that sometimes we put down the operational signs wrong. Many of them don't give a fuck if the answer is wrong as long as you know how to go through the steps to solve a problem correctly.
My high school teacher only cared about the answer, not how you got to the answer. That's a main reason why I liked college better than high school.
