Back in Uni, did a business statistics course and I seriously got an 8% on the test.. because the prof was a fucking dolt and gave negative marks for showing your work and putting an incorrect answer... You're better off not even putting anything down if you're not 100%(!!!) sure about the answer.. I got it back and I couldn't believe it because out of any course, anywhere, anytime, that was my worst mark ever by like 50%... Mainly because the prof was a huge idiot that nobody liked and 3/4 of the class ended up dropping, including me... And the poor guys who stayed... Well lets just say that 3/4 of the people who stayed failed the course miserably.
Took it that spring with another prof... Guess what I got? A+... That's right. She taught it a million times better than that mofo ever did and she didn't give negative marks for shit... If you show your work and you're close to the right answer, you'll at least get a 4/5, not a -1. I couldn't believe how simple the concepts in the course really was if you had someone who could actually teach... How he got to be a prof? My guess is because he makes the Uni loads of money by continually failing people for being such a shitty prof and making them enroll over again..
Goes to show how much of a dumbass he really was... The bastard thought he could fail me huh? Well... I graduated last spring and am working professionally now so if I ever saw him again, I'd probably swear up a storm at him and deck his ass with a straight right..
