What should I do? Can a teacher fuck up my grades just because he feels like it?

Grades are worthless. Don't fall for credentialism. It kinda takes away the prestige of having a good grade but that's irrelevant if you just know your shit.

Couple weeks into calculus 1 now, doing well, already past the chain rule and beyond. Quotient rule was a joke. Product rule remains my specialty.

I ask my professor his thoughts on quantum mechanics and partial derivatives. He's impressed i know about the subject. We converse after class for some time, sharing mathematical insights; i can keep up. He tells me of great things ahead like series and laplacians. I tell him i already read about series on wikipedia. He is yet again impressed at my enthusiasm. What a joy it is to have your professor visibly brighten when he learns of your talents.

And now I sit here wondering what it must be like to be a brainlet, unable to engage your professor as an intellectual peer. All of the deep conversations you people must miss out on because you aren't able to overcome the intellectual IQ barrier that stands in the way of your academic success... it's so sad. My professor and I know each other on first name basis now, but i call him Dr. out of respect.

And yet here you brainlets sit, probably havent even made eye contact with yours out of fear that they will gauge your brainlet IQ levels.

A true shame, but just know it is because i was born special that i am special. I can't help being a genius, nor can my professor. Two of a kind is two flocks in a bush.

My specialty in undergrad was double and triple integrals and change of basis.

Assuming its college, yes. The professor can grade any way they see fit.
Also he's sort of doing you a favor. Realistically, you should always strive to present your work in an easy to read and understand format.

I want to know why he feels it isn't organized but I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to ask since it might end up making him pissed off.

Organize your work. In an actual job you will need to clearly organize anything that someone else is meant to read.

>> No.11732924

>>11732826
Isn't organization a little bit subjective? Most teacher setup standards and rules for their tests for this reason but he didn't.

I undestand he probably has good intentions with this but it doesn't really help me to learn anything.

I asked, hope this doesn't backfire later.

I remember how I lost marks in my highschool calculus exam for using product rule in proofs and questions where i should have used quotient rule despite well them being essentially the same and one being a result of the other

Also remember a chem teacher fucking up my organic grade because I used 'Me-' as a methyl group in my structures rather than 'CH3-'
Yes a teacher can fuck up the grade just because he feels like it
life is a pain
Learn from this and move on
Nothing you can really do just accept that the prof is particular about this stuff and be more careful next time
