I breached into my schools inner workings and found the syllabus for my complex analysis class to find out that half of our grade is based on assignments and we have 2 exams only - both take home. I think I could live with that :)

zzr0ck3r · Answer

nice, im guessing the analysis will be 10x harder than NT

when I took that class my teacher gave us a test to take home and there were questions he said that he didnt expect us to be able to do, but wanted to see how we attempted it. lol....bastard
