- I don't see why some people think they are being "punished" when they are
- told that they can't use their programable calculators during exams.
- Shouldn't that just put everyone on the SAME grounds? It is not a
- disadvantage to not be allowed to use high-powered calculators... but it
- is an advantage to be allowed to use them.
-
- The Math faculty at University of Waterloo has figured it out now. The
- only exams that I don't use my calculator in is in my math exams! :-)
