So me and my boyfriend had a take-home algebra test and were allowed to work on it in groups and it was open book so our mutual friend-rob offered to help us.  He didn't do the work for us but when we started doing a problem 'wrong' he would show us a different way to do it.
Stupid little me thought I would surely get a 100% or close to it considering our friend is a math major and in calculus right now....Well all of the problems that I needed help with were completely wrong, hell I got a better grade by myself.  

I'm not gonna yell at him for helping us to get shitty grades because it was nice of him to help us but I might just tell him to be careful when he offers help to make sure he himself understands it.  I also DON'T think I'm gonna trust a friend to tutor me anymore....I'm going right to my professor.
