Problems = Personality

I have words of advice for anyone taking math/physics courses. The questions which your professors choose strongly reflect their personalities. Anyone who takes writing intensive type classes can justify the importance of getting to know your professor. I personally dislike the subjective approach many teachers employ when grading papers. I find that it dims the free-thinking element in a student. As far as I am concerned any beliefs dictated by teacher subjection should be considered cheating. Teachers are employed to make us think, not to think for us. Give me a topic and I'll do the rest. If you give me a topic and then expect me to agree with you go fuck yourself. If you ask any teacher they all claim to promote free-thinking yet when the grading comes along they all grade in a subjective manner. It is why I find writing to be painful. It is as though I am betraying my beliefs only for a better GPA. If I speak my mind, you grade me with your subjection. It is despicable.

But to move towards the real purpose of this post, I find it important for any student to realize this subjection and apply it towards their math/physics courses also. The subjection in math and physics can help you without fuck over your free-thinking abilities. The difference between teacher subjection in literature compared to math and physics is that math and physics are based upon objective principles that only the uneducated argue. But when considering literature many educated people still debate many fundamental principles/meaning in any work of literature. (No one debates the meaning behind addition)

Once a teacher's persona is unlocked one can begin to expect curtain symmetries regarding how they group terms together, relate variables, choose preferred factors when dealing with arithmetic, etc. This is one of a math/physics student’s greatest weapons. Along with learning the material of course :-)
