How is it possible to do 22 problems that require at least a page of work in an 90 min exam??? That's around about 4 mins for each problem. 15 problems were multiple choice so we couldn't get credit if we made a simple math error. Our teacher is also a dick for adding a None of The Above answer to the MC. Honestly, the whole class is a fucking struggle. I'm having a break down. :agony-consuming:

The class is a huge time sink, I hate it. It's mandatory to attend 2 hours of lab (essentially Ta's going over problems), 2 hrs of lecture from our teacher (who just goes over random problems), and watch 2-3 hrs of chapter videos +with questions per week, not including the homework and quizzes we have to do. Our teacher wastes our time with bullshit work and lecture videos that we could use to teach ourselves by doing problems from the textbook.

Honestly, there's way too much material to cover in one semester. I had to go back and relearn Cal 1 stuff that I learn over a year ago. I mean I had completely forgotten how to do integration and all the derivative rules, but he made us take a test on u-substitutions the first week of class.

The motherfucker required us to buy a $50 online book written by the math department which is only accessible through the department's online portal.

It doesn't help that my teacher is a prick. He will only respond to our emails if we send them in a special email format that he gave to us. He insists that we only refer to him as Dr. xxx because he want's recognition for his doctorate in mathematics. What kills me is that I know plenty of professors with doctorates that don't give a shit about title. Even the M.D. that I know personally don't ask to be called doctor unless they are in a formal or professional setting.

Honestly, there's only two types of mathematicians- the super serious, self absorbed types and the let's get high and do some integration problems types.
