Ask the TA for some help

>Why won't they spoon feed me everything
I bet you're the kind of guy who involves his parents in a grade dispute.

you know the TA makes like $10/hr ?

I have a TA right now who has a couple habits I hate. He'll slap a big red "?" on your homework if you don't do things exactly the way he expects because he doesn't want to spend enough time on it to follow your math, and if you cross stuff out he tries his best to read it then says it's illegible. You lose points for both. It's a pain in the ass.

>you know the TA makes like $10/hr ?
What third world country has that payrate? I remember getting like 19$/hr to TA and that was when I was an undergrad

>He'll slap a big red "?" on your homework if you don't do things exactly the way he expects because he doesn't want to spend enough time on it to follow your math
The more likely situation is that your exposition is confusing, if you ever become a TA you'll see just how bad most undergraduate work is

>and if you cross stuff out he tries his best to read it then says it's illegible.
Why are you handing in rough copies of your work?

I'm a TA and I do this.

If your work is a mess, and you don't even circle the answer, fuck you.

The best is students who just scribble mathematical jibberish, and then put the answer they got from wolfram alpha at the end, as if I won't be able to tell their work makes no sense.

This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. How could this be any more clear?

You shouldn't hand in your work upside down

I like to work in a different coordinate system. As long as the math works out, who are you to judge me?

wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(4(-36+16-4)+4(-36+16-4)-4(-36+16-4))/32

You should be ashamed.
