Statistically speaking, 34% of all statistics students experienced the same thing. But you didn't get an A, so you can't refute my statement with any credibility.

I don't see why a symbol matters. If the concept and context is correct it could be a picture of a cow, it doesn't matter

All of my shown work was correct. My complex answers were precise in every way except I used a "not equals" symbol that the instructor wasn't used to. There's no way you could fail to realize that I had the right answer unless you were being belligerently obtuse intentionally.

I should have gotten 100% on the final. I had every answer right for exactly the right reasons.

I got one hundred percent in my first physics test in college. I had every answer right. It was half objective on top and half problems on bottom. The objective ones I had all right. Every one. And on the bottom I believe I had all the answers right. But he gave me a ZERO. Now I'm pretty sure he gave me a zero because a 1 percent would have been like a 60 because of the curve.

I asked him about it and he said he could tell I read ahead in the book and he had specifically told us not to. I dropped out of physics and started business classes instead. That one moronic professor probably cost the world untold advancements. But I'm probably doing better than I would have been had I finished. I should go find that prick and tell him thanks. Before I dropped the class I talked to the dept head and he said "Sorry that guy is a marquee professor here I can let you drop it and not take an incomplete but there will be no refund and that's the best I can do. I know he's a prick."

*EDIT* Also he was the only person who taught first year physics at that school.
