How to Discuss Grade Discrepancies with Your Professor

AI Thread Summary
Discussing grade discrepancies with a professor can be challenging, especially when the student believes their solution is correct despite receiving a low score. Engaging the professor in a conversation about the problem can provide valuable learning opportunities and potentially lead to a few extra points. However, focusing on "winning" the argument may be counterproductive, as it could make the professor less inclined to reconsider the grade. Constructive dialogue is encouraged to understand the correct approach to the problem. Ultimately, the goal should be to learn and improve for future assessments.

Is it possible guys to add it that way? Well what i did is that i add the current sources even tho they are not parallel because of the voltage source... But it can be considered a node the upper part if you use super node... The one that is encircle is done by my prof... saying I'm wrong... but i got the correct answer... so is it correct?? Thank you...
Ps. this is worth 20 pts XD but i only got 5... i want to win the argument tomorrow

Why not ask your prof to explain how it should be solved so you can learn how to do it correctly in the future?

After your discussion, he may be willing to give you a few more points.

Basically there is no winning here and if your prof thinks that's your goal then he'll be less agreeable to changing your grade.

Nah. There's no way you can "win". He will just kick your arse and change nothing. I assume you will be wanting good marks and the benefit of doubt in future assessments, too.
In any case, I think your reasoning is flawed - if you are dealing with real current sources.

Yah i will thanks...
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
