yesterday i again got a poor score on
my plc homework. again not because my solutions were incorrect but because i didn't provide all the test cases to show it's correct. the TA doesn't seem like she would test your code at all. (btw this is a different TA from the one who posted my solutions without my permission.) i wonder if she gives you a perfect score if you just make fake test cases and hand in crappy code. that will be easy to do. my code works for the test case i didn't provide but i get points knocked off anyway. 10 points for a test case. i got 30 points knocked off for missing three test cases. one on each problem. for a 90 point assignment. jeez that sounds so fair. whatever.. i've never taken a class whose grading is like this. this is freaking crazy. i certainly wasn't happy to see the score. on homeworks that don't require test cases, i do near prefect or prefect. once it's one that require test cases, i do crappy. because the homework assignment never tells you what kind of test cases you need to provide. you should just automatically know. wtf? but then i told myself not to worry so much. i'm doing well in my other three classes. i'm getting low scores in plc not because i don't understand but because of their stupid grading rules. sometimes you just have to accept that. *shurg*
