Took a quiz.. one of the multiple choice questions had all wrong answers

[PingSpike]

Well, if we ignore the important point by Skyclad1uhm1 about it actually being 3.0 (only because the teacher clearly didn't teach this information, not because you are wrong sky.) Wouldn't the correct answer be 4.01 since it would logically include support for the features available in 3.2?

Either way, this is a bullsh|t question.

I never got the point of having open book tests.

I take a Multimedia class and my teacher was the same way. There was many questions about Photoshop and I have been working with Photoshp for years and many of the answers for some questions were incorrect. I also almost got kicked out of class because I was arguing with her about a T1 connection. She said the a T1 connection is faster then RR cable (which is 3.0mbps)

Actually I left it blank since none were correct. And like half of the questions are pointless like this.

Give me his address... I'll send you a TRP.

Scream at him "YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY?!?!" Then he will feel bad and give you a 100%.

Haha... I used to argue with my teachers over things like this. Eventually I learned that I could just save the file (these were online tests) and make one change, and it would GIVE ME all the answers. Then I didn't need to worry about figuring out what HE thought was right. I even showed the teacher my little hack, and he didn't care? WTF is wrong with him eh?

Pah. I remember much more aggregious errors in high school and college. On one quiz, my german teacher gave me two points off on one sentence because I used the wrong past tense. I said something like: "I ate the egg" instead of "I have eaten the egg". The guy gave me one point off because I had ate instead of have and one point off because I didn't have eaten.

One professor in college was a pompous jerk who would literally yell at you if you came in late or read a newspaper. If you got up to use the restroom he would tell you not to come back. His tests were in essay form, but he deduced points for writing slightly outside of the margins, spelling, and handwriting. None of those things were directly related to the material he was teaching (african folklore). He also lowered your grade for every absence.

what did it say at the beginning of the test? choose the correct answer or choose the most correct answer or both? 3.0 is the most correct so pick it....... who cares

Well said, dethman.

I learned a very valuable lesson in my technical training in the Marine Corps when I had to sit through a class on hardware taught by a not-so-good programming instructor. The instructor had little real-world programming experience much less hardware and likely couldnt tell the difference between the CPU and the PSU. I stupidly called him out on a blatant error in the middle of class and then later on an error on one of his tests. Needless to say, I was absolutely right in the technical sense but that cost me dearly as he did EVERYTHING in his power to make sure i did not graduate in the top 3. I ended up being #4.

One of the assignments was a VB6 hello-world type application. I finished it and waited around for everyone else but soon got bored. So i started adding menus and a bunch of other random stuff to the form. When you clicked it, it did a msgbox "why the hell do you need help on a hello world application??". He took off a boatload of points for that, saying my program was "not user friendly" because the msgbox was rude. Couldn't freakin believe it, but you know, I might have done the same thing if i was an instructor and i had some little smart ass correcting me in class. Of course, I wouldn't teach a class i knew nothing about, but that's a different story...

You couldn't believe that he took off points for you putting a smart ass useless feature in your application? Really? I would have expected it from ANY professor no matter whether I was their golden child or not.

I guarantee that if i had kept my mouth shut he wouldnt have taken those points off. It was really a bullsh!t deducation IMO. The assignment was supposed to be graded on if the application compiled, if it was named correctly, and if it was commeneted. The instructor even said that if we had extra time and wanted to add things to the form, then to go ahead.

But my point is that teachers are not completely objective like we want to believe. They give preference to students they like and give a hard time to students they don't. But i was young and stupid and didn't realize that so i had to learn the hard way.

I disagree. Adding features does not mean adding assinine features in a jerkoff manner. Who are you to say what an assignment should be graded on? Did it explicitly say that?

 

[lancestorm]

Dude, I hope you did not respond that way in an email. You are being very disrespectful and do not deserve credit for any answer.

 

[maziwanka]

I did check my book again and again, which is why I emailed you about the incorrect answers. Perhaps you need to check your book again. Maybe different versions exist with misprints. Either that or you just never checked. Anyways, I attached a picture of the chart in my book so you can see for yourself.

that's a ballsy move on your part. i hope it works out

Actually, it did explicitly say what the criteria was. Granted, 10 pts was allocated for "user friendliness" but it's a little like pissing off a cop who then throws the book at you. Were you actually in violation of most or all of the things he's written you up for? Probably. Was he going out of his way to screw with you? Yup.

I thought it was more humorous than 'smartass' at the time, but I still disagree with him taking all 10 pts off for one little thing like that. That's a stretch to say that one little extra "feature" makes the "hello world" application completely user UN-friendly.
