I was feeling saucy after having learned about the metric system, and for a lab report I deliberately wrote 125 mL as 1.25 dL. I lost half of a letter grade for that.
Wtf thats completely valid
These mistakes happen when the teacher is not paying attention, or got their 12 year old child to help them grade papers. Should just talk to the teacher and get it fixed instead of holding a lifelong grudge.
I did go to her. This was at a religious school where I was lucky to be learning any science at all, and when I asked her what was wrong about it, she refused to explain besides that we hadn't learned about deciliters yet.
Oh so she's a dumbass. Sorry to hear that
I think she just wanted to punish me for being a smartass, which I was, so perhaps some forgiveness is in order.
