Fun with probability exams

Sep 28, 2006 16:55

This afternoon's events:
  • Walked into a test feeling confident.
  • Found myself unable to finish the first problem.
  • Went on to do the rest without difficulty, taking about 20 minutes.
  • Spent the next hour trying to finish the first problem.
  • Ran out of time, gave up, turned in the test with my best guess.
  • Asked the professor about it afterwards.
  • Noticed that the answer on her key was way out of logical range.
  • Tried to redo problem with professor for 20 minutes.
  • Professor gave up, said she'd get back to me.

Talk about frustrating. At least my other professor gave us an extension on the homework.. it was due Weds, but she was sick and moved it to Friday (tomorrow). I was up until 4am this morning trying to do it, and found every single problem to be long and difficult.. so I persuaded her to give us until Monday morning. Yet another fun-filled weekend of homework, but at least I'll be able to get some sleep tonight. I hope.

grr, college
