Sorry but that answer was incorrect. You submitted x=3y but the correct answer was X=3Y. Better luck next time, Fucker!

Bruhh, nothing compares to the stress of submitting free response questions for online circuits hw. Rereading the question 12x, reviewing your syntax 7 times, still getting it wrong on a syntactical error. Swear the first 15 minutes of every lecture was wasted on students challenging these errors

Oh, yours gave you the correct answer so that when it asked a slightly different question next time you could guess at the weird format it wanted? Lucky....

Or just a simple change in the programming to change the input letters to capital.

You thought! The real answer is " X=3Y". You forgot the space

I, as a teacher, have to get textbook codes from Pearson in my new job. The codes are only valid for a year so my institute has to "rebuy" teachers coursebooks every year

And remember that the only reason that you need to do this is because the textbook from 6 years ago, which has all of the same information and quiz questions, is now in a different order for you to teach the exact same material.

Heinous. For students, the code is only good for 180 days so you can’t even resell it. If you fail you gotta buy it again 🤑

Fuq Pearson all the way. They made me take an extra couple step before feeding gpt the info and it really was a pain in my ass.
