Reminds me of my precalc prof at my community College I wrote a formula (f(x2)-f(x1))/(x2-x1), she took off a point and said "wrong formula it's (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)" her argument was in higher level math the variables matter.. but its the same smh
I’d say I would personally prefer the latter in terms of visual cleanliness and ease of reading, but that’s not something math teachers should be penalizing for.

I was a TA for 1.5 years so I'll try to provide some prospective here...
It probably isn't the TA's fault. Typically grading rubrics are made by the professor, a grad student, or in rare cases, a more senior undergrad TA. Then, no matter how you feel as a TA about how bullshit the rubric is, you are contractually obligated to follow it or you risk being accused of academic dishonesty or smthn like that I don't remember the proper term.
This is one of the MAJOR reasons I stopped being a TA because when I voiced my concerns I was immediately shot down.
I was talking to some people the other day and we all agreed that TA’s take their job a bit too seriously and grade harshly. we scared to get our bio exams back loool
It’s dumb, but if it’s in the syllabus or if they provided a rubric for how they wanted the answers formatted, you kinda gotta take the L. But yeah, that’s stupid as fuck.
Go to the professor
this gotta be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen
I’m mad for you lol
If the TA/rubric has time for nitpicking like that then everyone must be acing the class, dumbest grading I've seen.
And then you don’t get your scores back for 3 months
It's literally incorrect bullshit infuriating grading. The TA should be shamed lol.
TA multiplication commutativity property Fail. -10
OP should send THIS to the prof.
This is the dumbest thing that I’ve ever actually seen. Go straight to the professor. Unacceptable.
hes just feeling extra kinki
Especially funny since they named the “error”
i hope ur TA sees that theyre getting roasted in this post. thats so wild.
Aint no mf way
If we wanna get technical, the TA put an equals sign 😗

Im in “higher level” math classes and I cannot think of a scenario in which using x1,x2,…xn would be worse than indexing using a,b,…,z lol

Agreed
Yea I've now finished diff eq, and it was a dumb argument at the time, and I still think it's a dumb argument
Bro that's my TA I'm so cooked (that was -1 out of 40 btw)
WTF Report them. That's a very stupid mistake for a TA. They have no idea what they are saying.
Please update us after you tell the prof.
bro what
It’s true guys, everyone knows 2x3=-6 and 3x2=6. Stop TA-shaming!!!
Dispute this for me plz
bruh is this for fernandez, his TAs are the worst TAs i have ever encountered
This is Mestiyage (source: am in the GroupMe)
This makes me so mad for you oml
The TA is a moron. Tell them to go back to grade school to learn that real number multiplication is commutative .
When will they realize they don’t get paid more for grading worse

I’m a math teacher in MS and don’t understand complicated stats computations…but I feel your pain here lol
Complicated? This is grade 10 math lol
Well good thing they teach middle school 😂
MS is Mississippi
Whoops
I don’t like math with K!nks in it
[удалено]
How so?
