Bad professors:wwyd

There is nothing in her syllabus. My feeling is that if you want the paper a certain way, you grade it and make a note than in the future you won't accept it like that.

We are trying to figure out how he could type homework. We need to find a math program.

MathCAD? I don't know much about it, but DH has used it for various classes.

This is a college prof???? Absolutely ridiculous.... At Baylor, they don't even take up homework.. Of course if you don't do it, then you won't do well. They do quizzes instead or spot checked a couple of problems... He's in Calc III right now and if handwriting were an issue, my son would have flunked. He has the WORST handwriting. That is just ridiculous.

We'll have to work something out. Yesterday he came home with a 50% reduction in grade because his handwriting was too sloppy. Frankly, I thought it was his best printing. Sigh. I should have gotten him OT as a child. There is no way he'll get higher than 50% for homework grades if this is the case. She gave him a zero on his other homework because he tore the pages from a notebook and left that papery crap on the side. No grading. Zero

I get having standards, but she sounds like a bitch.

I agree - it should have been in her syllabus if she requires it to be submitted a certain way. If not, she should have graded it the first time and let him (and all of the other students in the class) know that she had a certain requirement and future submissions needed to meet that requirement. The only exception is if the handwriting was truly illegible, but it doesn't sound like that was the case.

MS Word does let you type equations, but it's kind of a pain. LaTeX could do it, but I think there's a steep learning curve, and I've never actually used it.
