/sci/ - Science & Math

You should interupt the prof and give your superior explanation.

kek

>>7565937
>tfw you're so aspie you ask the teacher questions that are thinnly veiled answers to things he doesn't explain well

>not tenured

>>7566015
Professor and tenured professor are not the same thing.

>>7565938
And then he fails the subject

Half the class failed the exam and nobody got higher than a 70.

We're all pretty sure at this point that he just made up the problem and didn't work through it before giving us the finished exam to see if it had an actual solution.

>argues that he did his job if we learn 1 little thing that I ended up forgetting
>something about the difference of something idk
>fail the class because I was too stupid to just read the book and study on my own
fuck those faggots.

>>7567385
You had one job anon

>>7567388
I learned my lesson eventually.

Never trust anyone to teach you anything.

>>7567399
?
taht should be ur mentality anyways. wtf do u nEED ?!!? T0O NOT KNOW THAT?

>>7567324
One problem for an Exam? Yeah I have to admit that's pretty retarded.

>>7567385
I never showed up for freshman and sophomore classes unless they were offered by my own department, I don't know why anyone would, textbooks are orders better than lecturers who don't gaf.

>>7566965
Anon's pronouns are he/him/his. Fuck off back to tumblr

>>7567459
You need to say "without loss of generality"

>>7567582

Not a professor, but a tutor in the UK.

>be me, 18 years old
>would be at university, but I was in a car accident in my second to last year of school and took a year+ to recover
>need to take A-levels at private tutorial college
>taking maths, physics, further maths and computing (basically its shit-tier CS)
>maths and physics tutors are fine
>computing tutor is a fucking retarded piece of shit who should be teaching ICT to 12 year olds
>calls every multidimensional array a '2d array'
>doesn't understand logarithmic complexity (I mentioned it briefly, he got nervous and told me 'stop worrying about things not in the book')
>despite wanting to stick to what's 'in the book' he managed to turn the discussion of binary trees into quizzing me on the different Access datatypes
>this fucking retard is talking about proprietary Microshill software in a fucking computing class

>>7565937
>be me on 4chan
>desperately need attention
>tell an exaggerated story that makes everyone but me look bad
>masturbate to all the responses

>>7567377
that is wrong in so many levels

>>7569428
not a ChemEng student. Why is this wrong?

>>7565937
>>be me
Kill yourself.

>>7566043
What you meant to say is that people on the tenure track are not the same as professors, one of the main differences being that you call one professors, and the others you don't call professor.

>>7569614
Pretty sure the anon was just insulted that the prof. felt to need to draw out such a simple structure.

>>7566079
The person you're referring to was obviously being sarcastic. I don't often call someone autistic but missing obvious social ques is a pretty big indicator isn't it?
