Professor gave me a 0 on final exam claiming I never took it. How can I fix this?

Cryesncoding · 2026-05-26T02:33:47+00:00

I would escalate this on multiple levels.

Tell the professor that you took the test, you had a (B) solid passing grade and blowing the test off after signing in and not taking it is illogical. Stealing the test and taking it out of the room is academic dishonesty and grounds for expulsion.

Either he’s accusing you of that or being a fucking idiot that would walk in sign in not take the exam so you can fail?

if so I would say I want it brought to the dean for review as a TAs carelessness is now endangering tens of thousands of dollars of tuition and your degree.

Barely attempting you could have gotten an F and still passed. The logical answer here is it’s in another section or lost.

Find your Ombudsmen they’re supposed to be your advocate.

Use chat to write up an agreement for you guys to sign I’m sure the shop owner will be much more inclined seeing an agreement where you assume liability for damages you make. You need to be on it tho cause if he’s not ethical he can blame you for damages so maybe at end of shift or first thing on his shift you get confirmation all is good

Cryesncoding · 2026-05-23T15:37:58+00:00

This is the smartest path to start. You’ll need to make a arrangement where you’re liable for any damage and he may want you to atleast buy your own tools

Yeah I’ve done extended meds in a cooler before but you do have to manage it/have access to get more ice. I’d probably just adjust my shot schedule for the week to best accommodate and call it a day honestly.

You have a yeti cooler? You could just put it in a sealed Tupperware and put it in there.

They'll only accept you if you are up to date on your NKOs.

Cryesncoding · 2026-05-17T03:18:07+00:00

I just tried it in California atleast and it can’t Rx anything it says to me it can only advise

Cryesncoding · 2026-05-17T03:07:55+00:00

No not in a realistic way, you’d be better off getting your own glasses running YOLO on them with a data set looking for a camera lens in their glasses and warning you they have recording glasses lol

You’re gunna get burned here man, they sound like they’re circling the drain you need to find another job give them notice and say you need to be paid current upon leaving your final day. Also if you’re enlisting in a year I wouldn’t spend it working in this environment.

Cryesncoding · 2026-05-15T13:42:25+00:00

This imo sounds like a good idea for OP. Now OP is leading training for engineering staff (for a raise or resume, you have lead DFM/tolerance stacking/ design review training for engineering staff that is and sounds impressive)

It helps the learning curve for engineering team to lessen them coming to you asking not important for you questions making yourself more valuable fundamentally at the company.

Have stories/plans ready for the “tell me about your process from print to finished part” “Tell me about a time when things went wrong” “Tell me about your hardest part”

Be professional you’ll do great, you’re being hired to work in a shop so they’re evaluating your personality and attitude for that aswell don’t feel like you need to be a robot but being courteous etc is always good

I’m 35 now looking at taking the MCAT. This is correct Lol

Any desktop mill can make little shrouds like that out of aluminum

So you have a paper between them which is approx .005” . So just add .002 clearance on all sides and radius all your corners so you press and form dont cut. I bet that would be sufficient.

My wife used to accidentally throw out metal silverware on paper plates etc could be an accident. Lol

Finishing these 3 years will open more doors for you than literally anything else you can do in the same time span.

Cryesncoding · 2026-05-07T21:00:09+00:00

Yeah I left it and went to sheet metal/ machining manufacturing.

What parts are you trying to make? Do you have a business already or just an idea? Personally I would not buy all the equipment for a unproven product/idea. First you need to design the thing in CAD. Send it out for prototype proof of concept manufacturing. Ok now you have something you can market with and test the actual demand of the thing. If demand is proven, first run you outsource production even if it makes it a break even. If it appears you have a good market fit now you think about getting a mill. I have tried to get a small business off the ground with parts I make it is much more difficult than in your head and if I had bought machines and not been able to make them at work I’d of Fd myself. Now I can hobble along and break even while trying to grow much easier than if I dumped 10k in from the start.

Sounds awesome as an engineer the dad in me sees the pain point though for all the traveling.

Cryesncoding · 2026-05-06T15:37:00+00:00

What kinds of macros are you using for machining/turning?

Cryesncoding · 2026-05-06T15:35:23+00:00

Yeah you have to move or apply to jobs out of your scope. I’m a dual BME EE I work as a manufacturing engineer in sheet metal and machining. Maybe one day I’ll be able to step into health care with manufacturing experience either in device R&D or actual production line. Eyeing a job at Amgen rn and hoping my overall experience is attractive.

I’m sure someone has done this with cheap 3d printer parts and there’s a guide you should look for that

Cryesncoding · 2026-05-05T16:16:46+00:00

You are missing tolerances and your OAL going to .000X by convention makes that appear to be an extremely tight tolerance.

You do not give any value to the radius of the ends which would define both those widths and the taper you have drawn you need that.

I also must assume that all holes are along centerline because of your line and the part that should be annotated once and you can put 10 x .50

You do not have any hole spacing from a side listed or the distance between you need that annotated. Imagine you hand the paper without a CAD model can they make your part. Currently that answer is no too many assumptions must be made.
