I want to kill my engineering prof

We were supposed to turn in a design for our project. Our "device" is making use of "inductive charging" technology that's found in electric toothbrushes. We referred to it as magnetic charging in our paper ( because I couldn't remember the correct term at that time ) and our prof confused it with the "Shakable Flashlight technology" ( wtf? ) and took of points. This is so ridiculously annoying for our group and humiliatingly funny for him.

P.s. Our fault for not making it clear but I can't just imagine what word in "magnetic charging" lead him to shakable flashlight technology. Our device doesn't have a single LED on it... or a light bulb.

I don't want to. ok ?

learn the correct expression. stop blaming others for your own mistake. whining about how unfair the world is doesn't do anyone any good, least of all you.

Have a nice day.

actually.. I understand. My capping professor is giving me Bs, B-s, etc, not because my vocabulary and sentences are wrong, but because she prefers other words. And if she disagrees with something that is a fact, she'll still take points off. There's no factual basis behind her grading, it's really whether she likes something or not. It is pissing me off to no extent.. but you gotta tolerate it, that's what being a professor is all about

@nykolle: Have you ever tried complaining ? As long as you use the correct terms -even if it is a synonym for his/her preferred correct term- you shouldn't lose any points. :/
