First you have to know what 10% means. Then you have to read the question carefully. A=4.0 B=3.0 C=2.0 D=1.0 If you earn a D (1.0). i will give you 10% of "your grade" Which is 1.10,. Also a D.
I heard a story (admittedly, it might be an urban legend), when in the beginning of a very first math class, the students were sitting in the classroom waiting to meet a professor, but he seemed to be running very late. After about 15 minutes of waiting, one of the older students started to protest, and loudly ask questions , something like: "Where is this damn professor? how long are we going to sit here for waiting for him ? what kind of professor is that ?" and for the next 5 minutes or so he was saying all sorts of silly things about that professor. Finally, he apparently got fed up, got up, came to the board and said: "Ok, since there is still no sight of this bloody professor, it is I who will be your professor!" (turned out, this was actually the real professor)
I am pretty sure that I heard about this shortly after it happened at Williams College around 1985. I think that the student/prof was Colin Adams who was a new faculty member and hence unknown to the students.
I mean, I’m sure that my math teacher wouldn’t say these things, but doing this summer class on Zoom during a pandemic, he’s hitting about 60% of these
I personally had a teacher in high school that would allow test corrections.. not every test but every now and then when the classes scores were lower than expected. The teacher would set aside a class to solve each question on the test in the lecture and reissue a new test the next day. It was actually pretty effective for my class but I can see why it's not popular with many teachers.
This is one of the most effective ways to improve skills though. Test people to see what they don't know, go over it and show how to do it correctly, retest to confirm learning. So weird how a lot of schools seem to think testing should be the end of it and going back over material that was wrong to ensure you know it is a bad thing. If you're lucky you get a few profs in your life who do it well though and actually confirm people understand things correctly before moving on. Even better is doing this with mock tests in the run up to an exam and having separate lessons for each topic people got wrong so based on the areas you did bad in you can get a refresher before the exam.
“things every math student wished their math teacher would say“ Teacher: "oh, it's okay if you forgot to put the +c behind each indefinite integral / antiderivative, I'm sure you know what it's for and meant to put it on, so I won't take off points."
“Let’s go through the algebra for these integrals and derivatives just to be thorough, wouldn’t want anyone getting lost just by assuming that “you should all know this by now.”
I went to a school without grades as a youngster. It was dope. My teacher let me explore math independently, and I just had to show that I knew the material. Now as an adult, I enjoy studying math independently via Khanacad and MIT OCW. I think it helped that I never had it shoved down my throat.
I had a similar experience in highschool. Only 3 students were in my calculus class, so failing tests or getting stuck and giving up on a problem was simply not an option. If one of us couldn't solve something, that meant 25% of the room couldn't solve it, which was a big deal.
@@tothbrush1917TEACHER NOTES: Hmm how many student's are there and what percent does one take up in the classroom? Please resubmit the assignment when you figure out the problem.
"I actually dont know the material either" i actually had a college teacher say this to me once. He also vaped in the classroom. As you can imagine i didnt pass along with many many others in the class.
I had a discrete math class once, where the original professor had to back out of teaching the class at the last minute. The school scrambled to find a replacement, and as of the first night of class we had no instructor when we arrived in the room. 15 minutes later a guy rocks up and says "I am the replacement instructor. My major was Physics, so I have had this math before, but I haven't looked at any of this stuff in 45 years. So basically, I'll be learning it right along with you guys." Needless to say, it was not the most enlightening class.
2:00 About the “I don’t believe in grades/tests -do what you want to learn” thing... I legitimately had a intro to Music Theory Professor in college who subscribed to that philosophy. No real homework, tests were open note and literally directly from the slides he posted as lecture notes. Most of the time he told stories for half the class. Everyone loved him. Everyone learned stuff too. It was great.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣, Students: I did it all in my head. Teacher: Good, let me just teach you all in my head. Here’s the problem, here’s the answer. I just taught you in my head. If you couldn’t follow my work, then invent a mind reader and do a kickstarter. I’ll invest in one!!!
Bollock Johnson uh, yeah, it is. Here are some of the liberal arts: the sciences, mathematics, philosophy Here are things that are not liberal arts: engineering, medicine, business The liberal arts are all academic (as opposed to professional) disciplines.
honestly, id love this teacher. assuming he actually knows the stuff his class seems like its focused on being a resource for you to learn what you want, rather than systematically covering and memorizing things
"being a resource for you to learn what you want, rather than systematically covering and memorizing things" Teachers that do this are the most amazing teachers out there, and end up being the ones we learn the most from!
As chill as this professor looks, I just know I wouldn't like him. I've had a few of these types of professors and they never know the answer, they don't seem to care, and yes, they are nice, but they just care about their paycheck. All of the nicest, most caring professors I've had (in college) were the hardest math teachers! They truly are passionate if they're willing to work you to the bone so you can understand
What's absolutely hilarious is these are literally ALL the things my philosophy professor used to say. Especially "come grab a beer with me and we'll just hang out and just don't worry about the homework"
The absolute unit of a professor who taught my Calc 1, Calc 2 and DE classes struck the perfect balance between everything you just said and making people learn. Absolute legend. You might know him?
I had a dynamical systems class that the professor said the test was open everything because he doesn't care how you find the answer. He emphasized understanding in his lectures enough that nobody ever had to use google for anything significant. Although I did use wolfram alpha to calculate an integral during an exam lol.
The “I don’t know how to do most of the homework” one was my calc 2 professor. He started every practice problem with “alright I’m gonna need some help with this one guys” and when we finally finished he would say “yup that’s probably right.” Love ya Dr Smith!
In Germany attendance is really not mandatory and indeed attendance is useless or at least not necessary...the first time I saw my abstract algebra preofessor was in the last session before the exam. I never saw the probability theory professor... An textbooks, hell no. We have internet.
I didn't want to appear arrogant or super smart. Quite the contrary. I was too stupid for lectures. I needed internet and attended some tutorial classes where TAs solved the assignments.
Having taught college chemistry for some years, it seems you left out a phrase: "If you don't know how to do a problem on your homework or an exam, please feel free to copy the homework from another student or ask another student for the answer during the exam." Have a great day.
I actually like allowing to use Mathematica. Not while learning integration (or whatever), but later, when using it to do other things. I think using it to solve a tedious integral can be highly efficient and appropriate. Just like we often use calculators to do multiplication and addition and such; it saves time and silly mistakes.
There were some things that I agreed with (e.g. test correction opportunities, giving full credit to homework that was at least attempted) and some things that I disagreed with (e.g. just using the calculator and Wolfram Alpha to get the answers without showing any work, attendance not being mandatory). Also, I just completed a course in mathematical modeling and another one, which was based on writing proofs for things like recursion, relations (my favorite!), and number theory. Both of them were A's!
my discrete math class had this awesome thing where we could resubmit any assignment and retake any quiz or test as many times as we want so we could just get an A for being commited to the course. we also pretty much got graded pass/not pass yet on each of those assignments. we learned a ton though!
In Germany our math professor is Like: „Feel free to copy the model solutions of the exercises last year. You only have to ask you friends in the higher semesters who still have the pdf's“
That's why I struggled in physics, no one wanted to associate with the foreigner. So they kept all the previous tests, homework, quiz, and test problems to themself.
Our linear algebra professor actually did give us an opportunity to correct ourselves in a post-exam conversation. Not necessarily to make up for all lost credit, but at least partially.
0:50 Well a couple of my professors HAVE assigned us homeworks without checking in advance how the questions are actually done, occasionally assigning insanely difficult questions by accident, so....
I had a calculus prof let us use wolfram alpha during exams, they weren't easy questions however lol. All of them required a lot of work in order to get something you could put into wolfram, his idea was that if we knew how to get to the point of basic integration, we knew the process and could just use the calculator to do the integrating and not waste time on it, since we already knew how to do it fluently.
My teacher actually said "Attending class is not mandatory" Later that day he also said: "God! I speak and speak and the class does not finish" Great guy tho
Nicolas Dellano I never had a course in maths or physics (theoretical) where attendance was mandatory during my BSc and MSc studies. I think this is pretty much the norm in all Finnish universities.
@@ismotahtinen1079 I'm in the US and the same is true here: however, I've never met a student who missed any significant amount of class and did well. Maybe someone can get away with this if the math/physics isn't critical to their major, but if you are getting a C in math/physics, you are going to have a very hard time in statics/dynamics.
Obviously being a prof and a veteran of grad school you have it ingrained but man...you have just got the math professor verbal cadence absolutely nailed. 👍😂😁

"I don't know how to do most of the hw either" Goodness gracious, i so happened to get the one proffessor who has the textbook and its contents memorized by the letters and fonts of each chapter and seems bewildered when we don't get it.
I always told my students that homework was not mandatory. After that I'd tell them that everyone who skipped on the homework has so far failed the exam. Their choice.
one of my calc professors actually let us use wolfram alpha for a test, he did it in a way that we cant really use it for everything but it still was an option which shocked me at the time
“I don’t really believe in homework, I don’t believe in tests, but I believe in you” 🤣

Maybe 3 years ago they never said this. It feels legitimate now days.
"Im definitely not always late"... yea right
He's kinda right with the "don't show work" bit
One of my math profs did say attendance isn't mandatory and that he doesn't believe in homework 😂
In the mid 70s, I had a math professor say "You won't study, you'll just go back to your dorm and listen to your acid rock!".
I always told my students that homework was not mandatory. After that I'd tell them that everyone who skipped on the homework has so far failed the exam. Their choice.
one of my calc professors actually let us use wolfram alpha for a test, he did it in a way that we cant really use it for everything but it still was an option which shocked me at the time
Every math instructor I’ve been with always said that buying the text book isn’t required because everything is already in MyLab Math
Can you imagine how many students need someone to tell them this? 3:43
hahaha
