<p>Have you guys ever get trig by the wording of the exam ? (or is it very common?)
It's stupid when I think about it. We study, but we don't get the credit for it because we don't know what the question is asking. Everyone is guessing. If you guess it right, you will get the credit, if not, good luck....
Well, that's nothing we as a student can do. It didn't help clarify the problem even if we ask the prof.</p>

<p>sure. happened to me in the 1b midterm for math. hell i even asked my gsi what i was suppose to find and i put down what he said the question was asking and i still got the answer wrong. and the prof said there’s nothing he could do about it.
sometimes the thing is, a prof can’t just change your score and admit his/her mistake to that one question because that would mean having to add points to everyone else’s. but not everyone else actually goes up and complains. so the question arises…who gets the points?</p>

<p>i hate when that happens :|</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, yes he can. It’s called a curve.</p>

5

<p>for my test, i think it was already curved. but extra points that bump you up to the next grade level helps a lot. (like i got a 28 out of 36…add 3 points had i gotten it correct, i get 31 and anything above 30 is an A.)</p>

6

<p>it happens to me 2 times (like two questions) on the same test, which will definitely bring down my grade. But the good thing is that the exam is curved.</p>

7

<p>This happens all the time in Bio 1B, Bio 1A, Math 1B, MCB 102, etc.</p>

<p>In fact, I just got a midterm back on which 3 points were deducted for not questioning the very premise of a question. If the problem explicitly states that there is a difference in gene expression, why the **** would I design an experiment to make sure that there is indeed a difference?</p>

<p>yea, same, i hate it when it happens, but what can you do… lol</p>
