I think I found a way to beat Calculus

So the first half of the test was pretty easy, but I noticed something....There was a pattern that was repeating itself every seven questions! So as I the questions got harder, I would just answer the hard one’s as the pattern dictates while doing the one’s I knew. And the pattern appeared to hold true!

So time for the pre mature celebration and to tell Issac Newton and that German guy I’m not going to bother to learn about, to suck it!

Is this some sort of online calc? The business calc classes at vt all have patterns you can memorize to get 100% but the professor -taught engineering calc is brutal

Nah, it’s in person. But it is business calc, not engineering calc. So it’s multiple choice thankfully.

I didn’t find my calc classes bad, but Fields, Matter, and Waves (a very calculus-heavy electrical engineering course) was brutal. I got a 36/100 on the first exam (the average was a 42). I mostly take that to mean the course was poorly taught, but quite hard as well.

Oh, yeah - I remember business calc quite well. I think that was my first ‘F’...

My introduction to calculus was at a local college that I used to hang out at when I was in high-school back in the early ‘80s. On Fridays we had a little group we called ‘The 304 Club’ because we met in room 304 in the Science and Mathematics building at, well, 3:04PM. We’d spend countless hours discussing math, science, computers, Sci-Fi and all other things of a seriously geeky nature. Kaz, a math teacher at the school, was our mentor. And in one brilliant lecture, without letting on what he was doing, he taught us calculus and blew our minds. His energy was infectious and you could see the joy and love for his chosen profession in everything he did.

Years later I was a student at this same school. I was excited to see that Kaz was still teaching math, so I signed up as quickly as I could. Sadly, by this time he was burnt out, and the spark and energy that amazed me years prior was long gone. He retired shortly thereafter, which, sad to say, was probably a good thing for the students...

I’ve known teachers who have made multiple choice exams...

where none of the answers were “C”

that started out with an ABCDABCD.... pattern until about halfway through the exam when it went something like ABBCD before resuming the pattern

where 10 to 15 answers in a row were the same letter

This one was less obvious. It was like “BDCDCBC” if you didn’t look closely it looked fairly random.

I thought you were going to translate it into Navajo, I’m pretty sure that’s a picture of code talkers.

Maybe I did, but I just can’t tell you....
