the bane of my GPA
online homework BLOWS. the whole concept seems nice and convenient at first, but it has it's limits. take physics for example. half the questions in physics involve answers with numbers and cosines and exponents, and generally all kinds of math language. the problem there is that it's a bitch and a half to write a GIANT mathematical formula into a straight line using /s and *s and more parenthesis than you can shake a stick at. an answer that you can legibly write on paper looks like utter ass when typed. seriously, can you even understand what the hell
(sqrt(2*g*H)*t-0.5*g*(t^2))-((sqrt(2*g*H)*(t-t_R))-0.5*g*((t-t_R)^2))
or
arctan((B*(sin(alpha_1)+sin(alpha_2)))/(B*(cos(alpha_2)-cos(alpha_1))))/pi*180
is at first glance?
i've dropped to a lower grade in my last homework assignment because i mistook a variable "j" for a variable "j_unit" *snicker*, "j" isn't even fucking mentioned in the problem, yet it was the answer somehow.
that leads me to another problem with online homework programs, they're created by lazy motherfuckers. half the questions are super-vague and too many questions leave out vital information, stuff you can't answer the problem without. not to mention the questions that don't have the right answers in the key.
sometimes online homework and quizzes work well, but not with fucking physics.
