Go away. It's awkward when you stalk me on the internet.

I don't see why someone else's failure should make you feel better, but if it helps I've been getting C+'s in Precalc.

I got D's throughout high school math, but my teacher was terrible. I got As in all my college math courses (and a few Finance courses)
My high school teacher would take off 8 points if you had an operation sign wrong (added instead of subtracted, etc), whereas in college they only took AT MOST 2 points off.

Wouldn't this result in you getting the problem wrong?

That's pretty bad. You must feel ashamed.

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. |

I hate when I'm taking a shower and right when I finish, I have the urge to take a massive shit, so it's like the shower was a fucking waste of time.
