I used to study math in university, but I stopped because they dropped my grades for stupid reasons. For example, I once checked what was wrong with my test answers, and it turned out it was full of red ink saying "you didn't explain this and this and that thoroughly enough", even though I verified from the course page that I got every single answer correctly.

My average math grade was about 3.25 out of 5 even though it should've been at least 4+ out of 5. I said "fuck you" like Van Darkholme and switched the major.

Is it gonna always be like that?

I'm sorry friend, but I only get hard for Koreans.

Yes, it's only going to get worse if you have problems with the first lecture already.

>>8342418
Fuck

It's really up to you. You live in a time where almost anything is available to learn in your free time, if you want to put the extra time and effort in. Youtube is a solid resource.

Good man

I spend the first twenty minutes leafing through the test determining how to solve each problem. Then the last thirty minutes is frantically writing all the details I can. The kind of problems profs like to give math majors makes that pretty ideal. Sometimes you have to stare at a proposition for five minutes with a stupid look on your face before you see a proof for it, and you don't want that five minutes to be the last five minutes.

Tests are supposed to verify your knowledge.

Here, a written test is a legally official document and I might take a professor to court if a correctly solved problem is marked as wrong.

In general, skipping steps is a stupid idea.

I usually perform computations on scratch paper, and then copy on the official sheet of paper a "clean" version (leaving things like 1+1 and similarly obvious stuff out).

No, it's going to be much much worse.
Enjoy your ride.

Protip: you can work your ass out and learn stuff, take notes and review them later at home.

This will help a lot.
