We have this marketing class that none of us gives a rat's ass about and it's not related to software engineering in any way, and our professor knew that.

So to make things easier for him and for us, he made the rule that if we do at least 30% right on the test, we'll pass.

If we got a question right, we get 1 point, if we got it wrong 0 points, and if we left it unanswered, a quarter of a point.

That meant that if we didn't do anything on the test, we get 25 % anyway, so we almost pass by doing nothing.

Fucking genius.

I only answered 5-6 questions that I knew were right and left the rest unanswered and passed

    This professor is a good professor. If you have something like www.ratemyprofessor.com, make sure you leave a good review lol

    Be sure to read the part about non-CS classes.

    I feel that's sad. I love learning marketing. But it's cool to have such a giving professor who will work with those uninterested in the topic.

    I took a look at your skills: if you ever decide to do your own app, coding is just one of the challenges you'll encounter. I hope you do the marketing one better than you did that test.

    @ravijojila We were studying about the marketing of companies and their projects, not an individual project. Of course I will do better than what I did in my test.

    And if I had a company I wouldn't be stupid enough to do this all by myself, I will hire a marketing specialist who will do a much better job at that.
