Being right

I recently had a test for my communications class. I lost points on the second question. When I inquired as to why, the professor said he wanted the integral written out for the relationship. Which makes sense, except that there is a special symbol for the relationship (convolution) that I used instead. The question didn't specifically ask for the integral, it just wanted us to show the relationship. I, of course, used the symbol. I challenging the professor on this, but he was not swayed. I pointed to questions one and three where he used the word "Define" explicitly for other equations.

I suppose in the end it's up to him to decide how he grades his tests. But, I'm also bound by his grades. I also have to question how much I want to fight with him about it, in the event he curves and I've pissed him off such that I don't get my A.

Perhaps I should just be happy with being right.

Nah...

Honestly, just stop already

I'm going to start punching people around me that use the term "Lameduck". I'm sure you've heard it on the radio lately. If you haven't, and are curious, it is a reference to the congressional term after the election and before the new guys arrive. The implication being that nothing will happen... BECAUSE THIS IS APPARENTLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER TIME.

The semester is going well. I've definitely learned a lot from this class on wireless communication. Good Stuff! Looking forward to some new ventures at work, hopefully we can make some good things happen. Some people despise change, and I guess there is a question of degree, but I like switching things up now and then. At least for right now. Maybe when I'm old I'll just be upset and shake a stick at the kids on my lawn...
