Signing up to grade an "intro to writing proofs" class was the worst mistake I ever made. Fuck you.

I was generously given a D in my intro to higher mathematics course, that whole semester I just goofed off and barely showed up. To this day I don't think I fully understand how to write a complete and concise proof, or what that even entails.

one was really QT and one was only mildly qt.
they didn't get reported because they promptly admitted to cheating when I raised suspicion, and they each satisfactorily completed an alternate assignment for half marks.

The TA is only half awake when marking papers. Probably saw your gibberish, thought "fuck that looks rightish" and marked it right.

It's easier to do that when basically everybody else isn't justifying or is doing it really falsely and one student puts down something only half-wrong instead of full-wrong.
