A.S.: Are there any shortcuts we should know about or should we always just calculate both scenarios?

The teacher hates him just as much. It doesn't help that he comes in *every* day 20-30 minutes late. And this is to a class that's only an hour long.

Oh, and he talks about how "easy" architecture is (he's a dual arch/civil like myself) and how the world shouldn't need architects because the civil engineers should just be able to do their job.
Yeah... People always asked pointless question and come in 20-30 minutes late. They are not kids anymore and they should know that you should not be late even 1 minute. It is frustrating to see people told you to meet up at a certain time and showed up 30 minutes later.

And architecture is not easy at all. The designing part is frustrating to learn as different professor from different class has different view of what is a "good" design. Plus the grading is very objective so if your professor in your class hated you, then you are out of luck.
