Except for series and partial derivatives, nothing is worse than when a problem has all of the steps:
1) Substitution
2) Integration by Parts
3) Integration by Parts again
4) Evaluation of Bounds
5) Seperating the Bounds to include the negatgive area
6) Algebra
Its disgusting. Its not too hard, but then there is algebra. Given to a 7th grader, the kid can see that one has to seperate the numerator into two fractions because that is the "obvious" thing to do. I have ethics in a a bit and its absolutely nothing like TOK, meaning I can't bs it at all. We have an exam involving identifying passages as well as analyzing them. Too bad the language of philosophical arguments is terrible. Bah. I won't fail it. I have a chem test that day too on Quantum Mechanics, Orbital Theories, and Gas Laws. WTF? We shall see how I do. Back to studying.
bs,
