Seems Awesome! I wish I could take him! If he really did ask me about something where he was obvioulsy wrong that would annoy me a lot, but it would be better if he told me at the beginning of class that he had that habit so I did not deem him as incompetent and therefore stop paying attention to him. I do like that he views it his responsibilty to engage students and “force” them to learn. If you are not willing to learn, you need to not be in college.
only stupid people will think a teacher should be always right! he is teaching man made materials! the name is Al-Gebra! if you think math teachers are wrong go and and talk with the al-Khwārizmī that Persian dude who wrote the thing! being wrong is teaching! teaching is a learning process itself! and Scott you are the real stupid
wikipedia isn’t exactly your most reliable source since anyone can change it and the editors can be fanatical about certain subjects, but if you found it somewhere else, you have a point
al-Khwārizmī is a persian, i’m a persian and i know my history. wikipedia is indeed inaccurate on many things but not this one Khwarizm is an Iranian city. and he was born in greater iran (todays uzbekistan). u do ur homework.
