If I arrive at the correct answer every single time then I clearly understand the principles.

Maybe you do, but some arrive at the answer using the wrong techniwue that doesnt work when the equation is altered. There is no way you are doing calculus and functions and relations in your head. Process and method is the important part.

If Im getting it correct every time it is altered then clearly it isn’t an issue.

There is no way you are doing calculus and functions and relations in your head.

That is an assumption you aren’t really in a position to make.

i typed a bunch, but it disappeared. I will try again. For example I had a topology descriptive geometry solving exam, I had not had time to learn how it was done due to job/life events.

I used my spatial sense to sketch up the solutions, because I didn't know the methods well enough to actually solve it. Got a great mark on the exam, prof gave me kudos in front of class. So while my faked end solutions passed the check, had the prof asked for the projection stage sheets to be turned in (showing how you work through the problem) I would have failed.

Right answers don't mean you know the material. And by you I mean the plural you, not you personally.

The profs are aaking to see work to see if you know the principles. People can arrive at an answer that looks right by doing the wrong things
