Arguing Marks

I got a 69% on my Java midterm. That sucked. When I went to look at the paper, it was discovered that the third of three questions was marked very poorly. To the tune of 19% less than I should have received, seemingly because the TA did not approve, or comprehend the use, of multi-dimentional arrays used to hold state information for a tic-tac-toe board.

So, in summary, I got an 88% on my midterm. Lesson learned? Argue everything.

WHAT?!? *splutters* How… how else is there to do that? Well, obviously that’s a rhetorical question, but it’s certainly the most self-evident and logical solution to this birdbrain.

Well, if it’s intro OO, it’s /one/ two-dimensional array to hold state /objects/, but if they wanted that, they should’ve said so.

Not that the TA wasn’t a complete moron for marking it down.
