<p>In college, it’s actually really common for students to challenge professors on the material taught in class, whether it is a typo on a handout of something the professor might have said. It’s actually really intense. For one class, there were even review sessions after an exam so that students could argue about how some questions were wrongly worded or how a multiple choice question had more than one correct answer.</p>
<p>oh man, i just had a test today in econ</p>
<p>keep in mind it’s regular econ that i’m getting out of the way for grad credits (i’ll be self studying micro and macro this year cuz my school doesn’t have them)</p>
<p>ok anyway, the question was “what is an inferior good?”
a) a good that is cheaply made
b) a good that nobody wants to buy
c) a good whose demand increases as a person’s income decreases
d) a good whose demand decreases as a person’s income increases</p>
<p>so i point out that at least three of those answers are right (a/c/d…b is kind of subjective and not necessarily true) and she tells me to “pick the answer that best holds with the definition of the term”. so i guess she wanted us to put a? i don’t know, it ****ed me off</p>
<p>My AP Chem teacher, whom I never got along with really well, got my grade wrong twice in one semester! The first time I found out because my grade showed up much lower than what I expected, only to find out that he had inputted the incorrect grade (8 points lower than what I actually got), so that was easily fixed. However, the second time, the same problem occured in that he told me he never actually recorded the changed grade (first time was only on computer, not his record book). Since he shreds tests, there wasn’t any easily accessible reference, and he kept on saying how I should have reminded him to change the grade in his record book when in fact I didn’t even know it existed. The atmosphere was really tense, arguing with a teacher and all, but good thing that was near the end of the school year and I won’t be taking anymore chem.</p>
