damn.. I'm a nerd.

those formulas are correct. However, the person making this may want to superscript the exponent to avoid confusion; otherwise the test taker will multiply by 2 instead of squaring the variable.

I had to memorize 7 formulas for a test yesterday in college algebra (arithmetic and geometric sequences). it wasn't going very well, so in a last ditch effort, I penciled them on my calculator in a discrete location.

as soon as the prof comes into class for the test, she starts to write the formulas on the board, thus clearing my conscience....

In my college classes not drinks are allowed. For this reason. High School teachers were starting to catch on when I graduated in 2007.

I don't condone cheating either, but if you have a math class that doesn't restrict calculators, the super-scientific ones (TI-83plus or greater) will make life a lot easier if you download the right programs for them

i still have a ti85 sitting around from highschool... I was looking forward to using it in this class at the beginning of the semester, but she told us no programmable calculators, presumably for this reason.

yeah sorry that came off like that.

I got in trouble/suspended/F in high school on a calculus test because the a$$hats off to the right & behind me were cheating off of me. Apparently it was my fault because I did not do enough to protect and cover my workbook, I took the test like any other test on my desk leaning forward


During my semester abroad in the Dominican Republic smoking was permitted in class. Students would casually light up during tests and leave their packs on their desks, we discovered that some of our students would write their cheat sheets on the bottom of their packs.
