The unfairness of being a student.
by Kenneth on Feb.26, 2010, under Whining
It seems to me that their are a large number of professors out there that seriously abuse their power. My General Physics professor is one such person.
The other day he handed back my homework. I am looking it over and notice that he deducted a point because I did not label my numbers with units. I mean like how unfair is this. He spent how many years working on his PhD and he does not know that acceleration is measured in m/s/s? Why should I have to tell him?
…and don’t even get me started on how unfair it was that he marked points off because I got a slightly wrong answer on part 1 of a 4 part question and each subsequent answer was then wrong. Can he not see how I worked out the problem and give me full credit even if the real answer is about 1/4 of what I got?
I think it is about time to complain to the administration about this!
