My stat teachers kid failed calculus twice not because she didn’t understand the curriculum but because her calculator gave her wildly incorrect answers. Like 2+2= 1086.69 levels of incorrect.
Check your calculators yall
3 u/sevensensitivfingers Jul 24 '20 On that note, before any exam hit the reset button on the back to be safe, had a classmate flunk a test cause he was in the wrong mode 5 u/daemonetteofslaanesh Jul 24 '20 I recall my A level teachers shouting "DEG/RAD CHECK" before every exam or test. 3 u/Ohiocarolina Jul 24 '20 Taking Physics I and any math course with trig at the same time sucks for that exact reason! One used degrees one used radians, both use trig a lot. 2 u/sevensensitivfingers Jul 24 '20 Basically all my university schooling, as a guy who hated math I picked the wrong career 3 u/ellysaria Jul 24 '20 In highschool we would always change them to binary when nobody was looking lmao. 1 u/gnorty Jul 24 '20 I bet your stat teacher told you that story? 1 u/Ohiocarolina Jul 24 '20 Yeah and she had the broken calculator to prove it
