Students keep asking professor complex questions to try and seem smart

>students keep asking professor complex questions to try and seem smart

Yeah but

After the curve it's an

89

I hate the guy who always spoils the big concept the professor sets up because he failed the class 2 semesters ago after having a mental breakdown.

ftfy

Genuinely go to office hours for that

What the fuck does this even mean? The questions were so "simple" and "tedious" that you could only muster a D on the exam? Have you considered that you just need to study and not be a faggot?

Something that's simple but prone to making small mistakes. Like derivating an absurdly big function or calculating the determinant of a 5x5 matrix.

what kind of complex questions r u asking about calc 3 and introductory linear algebra

>derivating
>not differentiating
are you some kind of idiot?

>60% is a D
do you go to a school with hardcore grade inflation and easy exams or something?

% is a D

100 to 90 is A
80 = B
70 = C
60 = D
60 below = F

60-50 F

A 'D' is basically just a glorified F at my university. Only C- or higher is passing for most courses.

I ask questions at the end of class that probably make me look like an annoying fuck who's trying to look smart, I also get bad grades.
Please be nice and charitable. I'm retarded, know I'm retarded, I just have some questions I'm curious about. Please let me learn in peace.

>One is more likely to make a mistake inputting a single function into a calculator than solving a problem with dozens of steps

I know your courses force you to solve problems by hand, and you're trying to convince yourself you're not wasting your life, but 99 times out of 100 computers are able to solve problems more efficiently and accurately.

Keep telling yourself that
