Problem Sets

So Mr. Sea got the shock of his life today when he discovered that (believe it or not) many people copy Problem Sets. Aha.

There was a random problem about a missile launch on our last problem set that was actually quite easy but that everyone was missing. The Math Team calculated statistics, and over 80% of MI4 got it wrong.

The best part? 60% of my specific MI4 class, he tells us, had the EXACT same work (and the work didn't even make sense) and the EXACT same answer. Now he's threatening to go through our problem sets after the graders do, to make sure the work actually makes sense and to make sure we're not just copying.

Moral of the Story: Don't copy something that SIXTY PERCENT of your class is copying with you.

IMSA shouldn't encourage group work, then. Because copying is always going to happen.

well, if the kids dont understand the question anyway, how do they think they're gonna get the answer?
ASK THEIR FRIENDS
and its just mi-4, which the problem sets dont really apply to the class
