Hi
My teacher is quite a character, I think. He proudly says that if your end answer is not correct and does not match the answer he has, he deems the solution not correct and awards very little marks. I have been told, even here on this forum, that in technical subjects method is given more importance rather than mistakes of using "-" sigh instead of "+" etc. If the the instructor feels that you know the method and could have easily solved the problem and reached the correct answer if the student hadn't switched "-" in place of "+" then the student will be given good marks. But what do I or someone else do with this teacher who, as we can predict, is going to many of the students? Any suggestion?
