krazy: make the test as irritating for him to grade as it is for you to take, by spelling out all numbers and any notation used, instead of using numerals, etc, like this.


**open parantheses one plus one close parantheses divided by two equals one.**


Maybe the bastard will learn and not make the test so hard next time.

Are you insane?

I'm up to 12 pages total of densely packed notation. I couldn't write that out given all the time in the world.

And right now I only have 14 hours left, not all the time in the world.

70% done (or at least I would be if I could find the error in my 1st question that's giving me one too many cyclic variables)

I feel your pain. I've had similar problems with the quantum field theory homework last week. Basically, what we had to do was calculate (among other things) the generating functional of a complex scalar field in interaction with the em-field, up to order e^2. Unfortunately, the professor forgot to mention that he only meant the e^2 term in the first order of the expansion, not the e^2 term that you get from the second order. So I've written out a 5 page calculation (in abbreviated notation) for exactly **** all. Cost me two days.

That's why I hate take home exams. They are from hell.

You could have chosen a less theoretical field of research that doesnt allow for 'take home' exams.

1. Clone the shigella pathogenicity island into E. coli K99 using your kitchen appliances.
