That's how I was at community college until they started enforcing attendance.
Bummer.
Good textbooks can make attendance a waste of time.
I've more examples, but I'm braggart enuf as it is.

I don't remember what all things they made me do this throughout my educational background, but I dreaded the statement "Show your work". It's like, "Multiply 56 by 207 and divide by 54". I'll do the answer in my head and then they'll be like, "But you didn't show your work on paper! Are you cheating?"
I once had a professor mark off my answer to a problem
as wrong. He said that the answer was right, & my method
correct, but he didn't believe that I understood what I did.
I did, BTW.
That was strange. But once something stranger happend.
We were about to take a test in some kind of analysis course.
Before it started, I wrote 3 answers on the board. Two were
numbers I chose randomly. the other was "up".
Turned out that "up" was the correct answer for that problem.
(It was a complex structural deflection thingie.)
Do you remember the old post about
my pick-up line to you in a bar?

I once wrote the name of a computer chip on an article they asked me to write about computers. They tried to take away points from my grade because their Word Processor said the name of the computer chip was "spelled wrong".
Word processors don't know everything.

They don't. I spelled it right, though, as I knew the chip inside and out having programmed for it. It was in a dev kit I had.
I use a British word processor.
Some adjustments to the dictionary were necessary.
Them dos w/ps were a bugger to adjust the dictionary...
Should'a been using BOS Writer & Speller.
You actually could'a...it's British.
Refresh me, what was it?
I sat down, & said...
"Let's not play games."
"We're both here for the same thing."
"What we just do it?"
You...
"Yes, let's go pick up some chicks."

I once had a math teacher who worked a pattern into the test answers, and kept dropping hints about it. It's how I aced the test on the quadratic formula before it "clicked" in my head.
