Got 4% on my first (and only) calc midterm. I statistically should have gotten a better grade by randomly picking multiple choice questions and leaving everything else blank... Sadly it didn't provide anything to the rest of my class and I had actually studied for it.
Your calc exam was multiple choice?
Depending on the question, many answers in calculus are:
This is especially true if they don't let you have a calculator.
Maybe I'm old and come from a time before calculators could do integrals and derivatives, but I never needed a calculator for calculus as it would not have helped in any way.
And I don't think there being four possible answers that come up frequently is a reason to make a calculus test multiple choice. What about partial credit? If you show all of your work, but make a small error at the end and get the wrong answer, you're just fucked I guess? That's dumb. Not a great way to teach.
They say leave the rest blank, so there was some multiple choice questions, which is fairly normal. Well, at least I think it is, all the maths tests ive done have had at least a few multiple choice qs (UK)
Well not the whole thing. Maybe a third of the questions or something like that.
