/sci/ - Science & Math

I feel that my Biology prof. is manipulating me /sci/.

I went to his office to look over my lab exam because he doesn't let us take it. For the whole last page he gave me zero on three questions (15% of the test) plus some other questions. I told him my reasoning to the answers and after he could not justify the zeros he said "you know, I could give you a couple marks for these questions, but in the grand scheme of things you'll still fail." Most of the other marks he took off were for mis-spelling phylum names and stuff. Whenever I asked him to explain one of the answers he'd start being cocky and ask me things like: "what do you expect to do after this class anon? do you see a future for yourself in science?" what should I do... this guy is an asshole in lecture too

stats problem

A function can have between 1-8 characters. The first character must be one of the 26 letters and the other 7 characters can include the 10 numbers.

Why is this not: 26*(36^7) ??? halp
