i’m so fucking sick of school apparently just being a place to memorize things for a test and then flushing that “knowledge” in favour of the next round of data…
If you’re tested on using a tool (a course’s subjects) you’re expected to use the tool.
You’re tested on a drill, of course you’re not supposed to use a wrench, even if it does the job, success on the course test is (or at least supposed to be) a proof of you knowing the subject matter, this includes knowing the tools that are given to you.
You need to take a few steps back, you’re making a very long reply to something i haven’t said.
I’ll be clear, i DONT like regurgitating proofs in a test, it’s literally where i am most likely to lose points.
I WAS talking about solving a test question using material from another course, which is silly because that would be admitting “i can’t use the tool i was supposed to practice with during homework”.
Because as a problem solver, you’re expected to be able to have a variety of tools to solve problems with, and you should want that, to make sure you solve problems using tools that make the solutions better in one way or the other.
On the contrary, if i allow solving a test using a different course’s material then what the fuck is the test measuring? It certainly can’t be used to say “this person knows how to use what i taught them”.
You’re overcomplicating your reply and it doesn’t make it look any smarter.
You cant force a solution in a math question from the question, and also have the question not be trivial, do you actually have any experience in using higher level maths or are you speaking out of your ass like the guy i was replying to originally
