Our homework is submitted online and graded automaticaly. Unless we type exactly what the answer is we get it wrong. Example: If the answer in the system is "2" and we type "two" it is graded as wrong. If you dont do your nested IFs in the correct order then you get it wrong even if it gives the same answer. I swear to god this could be avoided so easialy by not asking cirtain questions. There IS a way to word stuff so this can be avoided but dose our prof think of that? noooo.

I have been into his office 7 times since the begining of the semester JUST to have grades on quizzes looked at. On one quiz I went from a 72% to a 98%. I mean hell, if the system is that flawed do you think you should be using it? I DONT!

I need a blog

Gee I wonder why. ;)

When it comes to code, 2 and two are not the same thing. One is possibly an integer, and the other is a string.

thats the thing this isnt a programming class. It is a "computer literacy" class. I was referring to nested IFs in excel not in actual coding. I took OOP and this is like 1000000 steps down but its required by my major. (asshats wouldn?t let me test out). So its VERY basic stuff but the grading system complicates it like crazy.
