CO frustrating
This is the one thing about renewing my CO Master's that has always frustrated me. Seems like there are always a few questions - often just enough to be on the wrong side of the margin of error for failure - where the answers don't seem to make any sense. You are forced to guess the author's intent, supply your own information, or use fuzzy math just to make the provided answers viable.
It is really sad that the people asking/grading the questions don't appear to be as good or diligent as the people required to provide the answers. I too used the .33, but you would think if they are using double precision there would be no rounding involved to make the answer work.
I would hope it was their intent to make us dig deeper, but in my opinion it is probably just the kind of sloppy work that my supervisor wouldn't accept from me. I think it does a disservice to us all since we can never be sure what the answer really was - it isn't we get a graded copy after we're done.
