I’m more impressed by a teacher who didn’t smack a student down for being “too smart.”
It seems like a lot of teachers would find a way to turn their lack of specificity back on the student rather than acknowledge that the answer was correct based on the question they actually wrote (as opposed to the one that ended up on the exam).
kudos to the teacher for actually being fair ๐
Duncan
Sorry, I meant as opposed to the question they were thinking they were writing….
pete
yeah he misspelled ‘truly’ so what they’re a Electrical Engineering Professor not English.. get over it.
and yeah– I think that all of my professors would have marked that as a wrong smart as answer…. especially that idiot Bond — that dumb-as laser guy with a huge diamond pinky ring that you can focus a laster through… oooohhh I hate you Bond!
Lewis
Hmmm… funny how the “teacher’s” handwriting looks remarkably like a more slanted version of the student’s, eh? I also very much doubt any teacher double marks just for being a smart-ass. I call bullsh*t on this one.
Mark
Not saying it’s real not saying it’s not. But just cause you think that the teacher’s handwriting looks like the students doesn’t really say much. When in truth there isn’t much really any similarity in the to writing styles. You need to focus on the way letter’s are written. Example, look how the student writes their “P” in both times he writes “potential”, now take a look at how the teacher wrote “specify”, “except”, and “problem”. Not saying I do this for a living but just because you think you know something doesn’t mean you do. There are other letters in this math problem that you can look at and determine for yourself. No I’m not an english major so for all the other posters that are going to tear this post apart have fun.
p.s. As for the double marks thing, you never know.
Meek
It’s not fake due to the fact that the letter T is different in the two hand writings. I did take psychology and and the letter T is supposed to represent how u value your parents i believe or something on that general subject, anyways the subject does not matter for this point, Because the difference in the height of the line across is the thing two look at. The teacher/professor crosses his t at a higher point then the student that is all subconscious and u can’t do that if same person
jon
additionally, the letter f is remarkably different in both instances. sorry bud.
Hannah
I’d think the ‘double marks’ were probably his total score for that page on the exam, not that single problem. In which case it seems more likely that the answer is real.
Shon
I concur with the explanation of the double marks. That is obviously part C of the question, unless someone shopped in the C (lol). When I grade my students’ tests I put the total at the bottom so I can just flip through the bottoms leaf-style w/o fully opening the page to I can add quicker. Additionally, I usually goad my colleagues to accept creative answers and to especially consider the OBJECTIVE of the question… did this student meet the objective of the question? Was UNDERSTANDING demonstrated? Yes… +7!

not shopped
This is not shopped, I can tell by the pixels. I have seen a lot of shops in my time.
DUH
anonymous was making a joke not shopped. it’s kind of a trend going around the internet just to confuse and/or piss off people like you. HAHA
rick
ha i love how this is all about handwiting, if the guy wanted to fake it all he would have to do is get someone else to write the second part. instead of going through the trouble of trying to make his handwirting different ๐
anon
To DUH-
“not shopped” was continuing the joke. Don’t pretend to understand the internet if you’re missing the memes.
Jan
A clever answer that, for me, only proves the student understands the science behind it and doesn’t waste time with unnecessary calculations.
anon
I had a teacher who did something like this. He would give us partial credit if our answers at least made him laugh
pv
Lewis, you ARE the weakest link.
Quase
@Lewis: nope, the student connects the ‘e’ with the previous letter, the professor doesn’t. Also, the professor’s ‘f’ has a bend in the middle, the student doesn’t. these things are hard to fake, and are not just a inclination (slant) difference.
@pete: it doesn’t matter if he is an engineer. how do you think he writes technical papers then? do you think a brain surgeon should misspell things because he is a doctor? are the only people supposed to speak proper english, english teachers? you fail…
the prof
Quase,
Try grading dozens of papers and tests, adding comments, without a single misspelling. Handwriting doesn’t have Spellcheck, unfortunately.
As a professor, I agree with Shon. If the answer shows the student understands the concept, they should get full marks. If it’s just a smart ass answer, then not.

I never said that it was real or it wasn’t. I wasn’t trying to make the person’s handwriting different. I was saying that its not the same person’s handwriting. If you would actually read all the posts instead of skimming them you wouldn’t of posted your remark.

High marks to both teacher and student! I am a bio profesor, and whenever my questions are ambiguus, I give the student more leeway. As far as the question of “shopped” goes, I don’t see anyone wasting time faking a rather bland test questin response. I get these all the time and grade them the same way. (PS…I went back and purposelu mispelled som words just to drive you anal retentives more insain)
what is a shopped?
I’m really struggling to understand the concept of “shopping”. As far as I know, isn’t shopping the thing you do at the shops O_O?
Edward Smith
What people mean is that they believe this image was purchased at a photo shop, and so is not genuine.
oh man...
Last 2 comments actualy made me laugh ๐ Shopped = Photoshoped = Adobe Photoshop Picture Editing Software that is so sophisticated you can manipulate anything in a picture. Or just http://www.google.com
Michael
Funny, but I find it amusing when students complain that they don’t get marks for ‘smart’ answers, when in actual fact all it shows is that either
a) they aren’t smart enough to do the question in the first place
or
b) they don’t have the common sense to realise what the question is asking
Tests are there to test your knowledge of the subject, not how many loopholes you can find by being perpetually annoying.

Smith
What people mean by gimped is that they believe this image is imperfect and so is lame.
Mike
Gimped is basically “shopped” but with the photo editor called Gimp (open sourced alternative to photoshop).
Jita
I’m LOLing harder at the comments than at the actual picture. XD

I love this entire conversation. I love it love it love it. The whole shopped, gimpy thing. Ya’ll R funnnnnay!

Spelling errors can turn salt into slat, laser into laster, due into do, dumb-ass into dumb-as, Photoshopped into Photoshoped.
Photoshop has been beaten to death for the misuses it enables, and yet people claim they can see pixels that are argued to be “changed” but these same people have no idea about compression artifacts which can make a photo appear to have been edited.
Just another rant filled ‘blog.
Credit the teacher for accepting the students reply, but had I been the teacher, I would have declared this particular question to be invalid due to the error which the teacher made, and thus every student gets no credit for any answers for item c).
While this student is technically correct, this student also has to learn that there are internationally accepted conventions naming familiar locations for v=0; sidestepping this convention for measuring voltages will ultimately lead to someone being no less than confused, and possibly injured by the incorrect viewpoint this student appears to be developing by ignoring standards. In the world of millions of ‘convention following people’, this one student will be unique if they elect to not accept the standards. Not to mention how difficult this student could be making their own life.
I can’t imagine how much fun it will be for this student to persist and thus have to perform circuit analysis calculations with a lot of negative numbers. What joy.
The teacher’s and student’s handwriting looks the same to me.

The “shopped” thing….yeah, its supposed to be funny or something, oh har dee fucking har har…..You’d have to be such a dick to scour the web looking for places to type that, go and get a fucking life.
yeah
lol well some folks are funny some folks are stupid the only thing here that actually made ME laugh out loud was the one vulgar comment but as for the test paper i’ve taken a lot of classes and i’ve yet to see a prof with handwriting like that….while it’s possible the person clever enough to answer the question CORRECTLY while being smart ass wouldn’t be lame enough to go through the trouble of faking this to put it on the web. some of the letters indicate there was obviously a second writer i truly doubt that two people this intelligent would go through the trouble of posting something that lame on the internet i say it’s real and if not who cares ๐
sdgf
I analyze handwriting. The “answer” and the “teacher’s comments” are very highly likely to be written by the same person.
marco
I think this was a funny thing to stumble upon, and I don’t understand why everyone reads into this so much, who gives a fuck about the handwriting! It’s just something to chuckle at!

Sometimes I don’t think things are worthy of being stumbled, then I look at the comments. I wish I knew where the ‘shopped’ trend came from (I only see it in comments of stumbled pages, so did stumblers start it?). I think Hobittual has a good idea, too. The GIMP is much cooler than Photoshop.
And I love how everyone claims to be an expert about some random shit they find on the internet. Oh how we wish to be as epic at everything in life as you.
This comment stuck in the middle of everyones objective reasoning its as useful as the rest.
No one was actually saying they could tell it was shopped by pixels.. /b has spawned many god awe full creations that one can only understand and appreciate by being a /btard. So stop your ranting about how people can’t see the pixels actually being shopped.. and stop trying to explain the memes you don’t understand.. and stop bitching at people who use said memes because this page is on stumble upon which has users from /b so STFU, GTFO AND GIMME A CHEEZBURGER
