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...
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
