I just got an e-mail from my professor confirming that I bombed my first ever graduate school exam. I was 11 points below the mean and because of how the class is graded, I'm in danger of failing. If I bust ass on the second test and the one homework assignment/project we've got, I can get through the class w/an 84%. I got screwed over on one of the problems because I wasn't sure how to work it out. I've had some pretty epic bombs in the past, but I've been able to bounce back thanks to good teachers and references, something this class doesn't have. Hopefully I'll recover.
On that note, I'm finding that like my undergrad at UW, high school, work, certain aspects of life, there's a game to be played; I just have to learn how to play this one.
Bad professors FTL. He said it was "sad" that we had to use calculators to graph sin waves during the mid-term; well it's sad that he's got trouble packaging material in a way that students would be able to understand. I'm not blaming my shit score on him (because clearly some people get it), but in general, the class is struggling to understand wtf he's writing on the bored.
