Some advice please (non- MC related)

If he brings it up in class again, you should perhaps suggest that this is not the time or place to argue about it. I wouldn't be afraid of him lowering your grade. Especially in a subject as black-and-white as Calculus. If you have the papers to prove that he didn't give you the same credit as the next guy for the same work and answers, you can go to the head of the department and likely get the guy fired. If your prof is the head of the Dept, you can go to the Dean of the college or the board of regents...The worst that can happen is that you'll have to fight for it. You have to decide whether it would be worth fighting for. You've got as many witnesses as there are people in the class and you could bring a microcassette recorder if you're really worried. I don't believe a calc class is the proper setting to argue politics, but if he brings it up and nobody in the class says anything about not wanting to delve into the subject, it's probably fair game.

Just my 2 cents.

I once proved a prof wrong in class and after that he kept loosing the asigments that I turned in. After that I kept coppies of all my work. The SOB dropped my grade from an A to a C.

Arguing with professors most of the time isn't worth the trouble. I continued to do it and it came back to haunt me a couple times.

I'd like to pass on a bit of wise doggerel that recently came my way.

Arguing politics is like running a race in the Special Olympics.

Even if you win, you're still retarded.

I'd take the good grade and not the bad grade. You'll go farther in life. Mabee even be president. Ya never know. It sounds like you've got a good head on your sholders. If you do decide to pursue it. Make SURE you are right and not just here say. Have your documents to back up your statments. It's alot of work.
OR you can do like myself and a whole lot of red blooded Americans. Stand by your right to bear arms, and ride motorcycles. That is truly what keeps us free. What constitutes a terroist. or an enemy of the state, Anyone who doesn't believe or do what our government want when they want it. Well I'll tell ya. Let em come into my house in the middle of the night. I ain't going nowhere without a fight. On top of that my dog get kinda hungry when I tell him to. If ya know what I mean. This is a very touchy subject that can piss alot of people off in a short period of time. Kinda like the professor. A good grade will help you out. Be patient, work hard, and become one of the people that make/change all of these rules that we have to abide by to live "free" in this country. When you get there, Don't forget where you came from.
