AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the strategy of selecting courses and instructors in college to maintain a high GPA. It highlights the dilemma of avoiding teachers who may not grade fairly, particularly those whose exams do not align with homework assignments. The conversation suggests that while some students may choose classes based on perceived difficulty or teaching quality to secure better grades, a truly capable student should be able to achieve a high GPA regardless of teaching styles. There is an emphasis on the distinction between homework and exams, with the expectation that students should be able to apply their knowledge to different types of questions, reflecting the learning objectives of the course. Overall, the dialogue underscores the complexities of academic performance and the role of teaching effectiveness in student success.

It seems possible that to have 4.0's and 3.0's , that it's logical to deliberately not take teachers who don't grade fairly? (For example particular teacher who assigns homework and then all of his exams look NOTHING like the homework. )

Sure, however a good student would get a 4.0 regardless of the teacher.
 
I don't even get what's going on here. I don't think what you said is a proper sentence.
 
It's perfectly possible to get 3.0-4.0 GPA...if the teacher made the exam look exactly like the questions on the homework your not learning your memorizing. It's college...not high school
 
I think the OP means that he won't take certain classes that other people say are hard or the teacher sucks... in order to get a higher GPA.

and i don't think the prof can just pull questions out of their a**. homework ≠ exam, but theoretically you should know how to do questions similar to it because ..well, because that's the course you're in. and that's the homework you've done, the questions you've studied.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
