This is a question for teachers who lecture at Universities, if you are around:
I had an examination and got 16 out of 20 as my final classification. I asked to see my answers as I believed I could get more than that, although it is a fine classification.
My teacher (a well known scientist in the field) gave me 0 points on an exercise that had a total of 2 because I made a simple math calculation. She said "Your exam is very very good. All the equations are correct and all the development of the problem is absolutely correct but this number here is wrong, you must have misplaced a number in your calculator..." Obviously, the final result wasn't correct, as a number, somewhere in the middle of the problem wasn't correct either, but she didn't even care that I knew how to solve it, what formulas to use and how to use them... I did put a wrong number in my calculator and BUM... 2 points were in the dump!!! Is this correct or fair?!
