Grrr
Upsetting Statistics Newsflash
My statistics prof has returned some horrible statistics exercises, knocking off 5 points for transposing a 2 and 3 in the original formula. I must say that I enjoyed returning that, asking her to verify the formula that I copied and pasted from the e-text. I was further annoyed by having a point taken off for not copying and pasting the rubric to the bottom of my paper, but I couldn't really argue that since I didn't. I just think taking off 2 points for not putting EXACTLY what she want's to see in the subject line (Literature Review-Marian, versus my Marian's Literature Review), and taking off a point for not providing her own rubric is a little extreme. She's a very good prof, but has a couple issues in the "picky" category...
