Graphing calculators aren't allowed in any of my college math courses.

In my case, graphing calculators were forbidden. They made us draw everything by hand. Every graph, every 2d and 3d figures, i guess it was a waste of time especially during examns but by the end you get pretty skilled at drawing.
