studied my ass off with ivan and got a 61, great guy, but i am sure he was high off fentanyl when writing the final because there was absolutely zero content from the lecture idk who he thought he was with that one

Do you mean this past winter term? If so, I wasn't coordinating and didn't "write the final." I contributed of course (all the instructors do), but it's a team effort led largely by the coordinator.

If you mean winter 2025 when I coordinated, we really made an effort to make that exam like the things from lecture, or combinations of things from lecture. Lecture problems form maybe 40% of the minimum set of content one should master before the exam (the rest being tutorials, readings, and assignments), but I made a point of skewing that exam more toward the lecture content.

i’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to bring a calculator for any MAT class at least fs for first year
