u/NekonecroZheng shared their graded check to Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating discussion board on Monday 3 Could (view it right here), together with the caption: "My Chem trainer sucks A**."
The highlighted check query reads: "Which of the next salts are acidic? Circle ALL that apply."
Regardless of selecting all the right compounds, the scholar's reply was nonetheless marked fallacious, as they'd circled every selection individually quite than deciding on the "All the above" choice.
The publish has since garnered 112,000 upvotes and a couple of,800 feedback from customers aggravated on the poster's behalf.
JackofAII mentioned: "excuse me what the hell."
_UserDoesNotExist commented: "Chemistry academics/professors are a number of the saltiest folks on the earth when listed by majors.
"Breaking Unhealthy captured it fairly properly."
Fpcoffee added: "Seems just like the trainer circled "circle all that apply" in pink purposefully in order that makes me assume that this was only a lure."
Nonetheless, somebody claiming to be an ex-educator defended the trainer, suggesting they could have been careworn or overworked when grading.

"Or, it might be a useful resource given to you by the college and you haven't any selection however to make use of it, so that you in all probability do not trouble checking.
"From a burnt out ex trainer, that job takes a toll. I used to be simply marking 600 assignments or books each week.
"If I had the possibility to get a weekend to myself, I would be speeding and that is how these errors are made."
Analysis has proven that "high-quality educating" can enhance outcomes for college students, not simply within the classroom, however past.

Different customers shared their very own tales of nightmare educators.
Melonlind mentioned: "I had a trainer have us write an opinion piece on one thing random he preferred and would fail you in case you disagreed with [his] opinion, he stopped educating quickly after."
Melancholyrefresher wrote: "Precise faculty physics professor of mine would write out assessments in pencil after which photocopy it 50 occasions so that you could not inform what half of it even mentioned.
"It wasn't nice, and him saying "it is not arduous" after greater than half the category failed the primary check of the course didn't someway repair the problem."

"The query was fully omitted from the check and an e-mail got here out to the category saying that each one our grades shall be up to date."
Here is one scholar who undoubtedly deserves an A+ in chemistry. Chase Lean went viral in April for his or her wonderful home-grown crystals, created solely from supplies you could find round the home.
Newsweek has reached out to u/NekonecroZheng for remark.
