Enough said .

And I bet you couldn't use bra-ket notation and Hilbert spaces to do quantum mechanics at a more involved level than a basic, introductory course, but I don't go out of my way to belittle you about it. Seriously, what is your problem?

You said it yourself - he told you how to do it during lectures. So don't you come and start talking bull on here about how trivial it is when you just got told how to do it - it'd be embarrassing if you DIDN'T find it trivial.

Hahaha, I very much doubt I'll do so badly they'll have to debate whether or not to keep me, but thanks for your concern ...

Edit: I've sent you a private message - if you want to carry on discussing this with me, it'd be better to do it in private, since I'd rather not spam up the forum any more .

There's a difference between asking for help and asking for answers. There's also a difference between asking the occasional question and asking for help on every question. I grant you that if someone got help on *every* question, it could give a misleading impression to supervisors. In general, though, supervisors have a pretty good idea about the capability of their students. (In my experience, it's pretty easy to distinguish between a 'low first' and 'high first' student, even when they've both completed the entire example sheet).

The whole point of a supervision is that it's a two way discussion, after all.
