Jul 31, 2019 at 15:14 comment added user31389 This is possibly the most important answer. It's frustrating to possess the required knowledge but lose points because your answer was not what the professor had in mind when asking the question. The most difficult courses were not those with difficult material but those with difficult professors.

Jul 31, 2019 at 11:02 comment added Ruther Rendommeleigh Very true. As someone with extensive prior knowledge in my chosen field, I've always struggled with determining the expected "level" and cultural details of a course rather than the material itself, e.g. which notation they used in which case and which material they did and didn't cover. I got a lot of "technically correct, but zero points because we didn't cover this in the course" comments on my answers, while someone new to the material would just answer the one way they learned.
