    Education Lost
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around frustrations with difficult math tests, particularly in Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, leading to feelings of inadequacy and a loss of faith in education. Participants express dissatisfaction with test formats that seem to favor specific concepts while neglecting broader study material. There are complaints about professors' grading practices, particularly the lack of partial credit for problem-solving approaches. The conversation also touches on the perceived difficulty of math versus physics, with some participants arguing that math can be overly abstract while physics requires practical application. The use of hyperbolic language, such as comparing a bad test experience to "rape," is criticized for being insensitive. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of academic struggle, humor, and the emotional toll of rigorous coursework.
