He marked Question 1c. wrong for two of us and -1 on another. We who got it wrong showed the work and the student with the Minus 1 point only said yes. The question asked us to Determine if X=3 in the equation.

I think our professor should be able to make his own tests he told us to study circles and graphing because he didn't know if it would be on the test or not how can we be instructed on what to study if our own professor doesn't know what will be on the test

Question number 8c on the exam with the power of zero. I don't feel it was fair to take points off and not receive full credit for the problem considering that the answer is one. I received points taken off because I did not apply work to the problem. I do not see the sense in wasting time working out something you the answer to and much time is needed on the other questions. No negative points should be taken off for the correct answer in my opinion.

I agree with everything said in the above petition. It was an unfair exam to the students. Professor did not warn us about these topics or did not solve it in class. He should be fired and we should be given another chance to improve our grade or be allowed to take quizzes on mymathlab for extra credit or just curve the exam.

I took the math common exam. Like other students, I was thrown off by the questions that had never been covered before anywhere in class, examples, homework or math 107 syllabus. The professor and co-ordinator lied to us students about the common exam to mislead and fail students on purpose. We should be given full credit for the questions pointed out in this petition. I agree with the comments and petition 100% and want to fight the math department for either another fair makeup midterm or extra points for screwing up the students royalling. They need to own their mistake and not punish us for it.

I went to extra study sessions and was not at all prepared for this exam.

The math department is notorious for its "weeding out" testing tactics. While avant garde problems on homework assignments might actually be instructive, to spring them on exams is unconscionable.

I hope that this will be resolved.
