Depending on the question, many answers in calculus are:

  • 1
  • 2
  • 0
  • invalid

This is especially true if they don't let you have a calculator.

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.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
