Well, in concussions I thought it was always odd because the literal Greek word means "wound." Concussions wound, and I am not a medical professional, cell metabolism in the brain, or something like that? Basically, concussions ar

I just wish more academic material has problems with answers. I used Chegg when I took a digital logic class for my CS degree. Did I use it to cheat? No, but the textbook was my only source material, and it virtually had no solutions in it.

I had a Calc II professor like that in college. He told us on the first day, "I don't take attendance, and I don't grade homework. If you want to pass the class you'll attend and you'll do the homework on your own.&
