In all of undergrad and in my workplace combined, I've met three black engineers that are worth shit

I once made the mistake of teaming up with two black students in one of my undergrad classes. One was a master's student, the other was a phd student, and I STILL wound up carrying the project

So I'll eliminate the most objective means of giving you feedback on how well you're understanding things.

Coincidentally, doing it this way means a hell of a lot less work for me after class.

Just a happy coincidence though.

>>8321852
>>8321852
It makes sense in a class like research ethics where you have to discuss the pros and cons of an approach or work through dilemmas. Those classes are less about facts and more about being able to analyze and work through situations to which there might not be a clear and correct answer.

>>8321560

they're saints. Any class without one is always torture

I don't know why you people are complaining so much about group work.
The first thing I did when a prof forced me to pair with someone was to state how much I want the other person to pay me for doing it for him. Worked almost all the time, because usually the other person wanted just to pass. Except in cases when that person wanted to really participate, in which case it was a pleasure.
Group work was superior for me because it was basically paid homework.

Australian here. I've done courses which have this. Usually it's 5 or 10%

But why aren't you just marked on your actual knowledge of the material? I don't get it. Like sorry dude you know all the material but since you weren't here you can only get a B+? How does that make sense?

I'm a yuropoor btw

Some professors get salty about no one listening to their lectures.
It seems to be the ones stuck teaching gen eds and at community colleges in my experience.

I'd come to understand this by 6th grade. It took until most of the way through 9th for people to realize I wasn't a moron. Dropped out ~11th.

Fairly certain most of my coworkers at my first job assumed I had some degree of brain damage, as well. They would explain simple things in extreme detail, very slowly. I'd just stare at them and mostly give very simple responses. I wasn't deliberately engineering their perception, I mostly didn't give a damn, refused to connect, and thought this was a medium to avoid accumulation of external nuisances.

Strange times. At such a point all it takes is a single response to watch your entire social ecology rapidly shift. Got over most of that and realized there were more means for control than I thought, if I was willing to use them.

Both these tasks involved socializing with others. Something sci will never do.
