An online homework program designed to rob college students of their hard-earned money and serve as a crutch for professors too lazy to write their own homework assignments or to teach. Its purpose, beyond making millions for the publishing company, is apparently to reduce the number of engineering graduates in the United States by utterly demoralizing and destroying their confidence in an effort to force them to drop the program and/or kill themselves.
I used up all but one attempt on this stupid Mastering Engineering problem, before I realized it had switched everything to kiloOhms instead of Ohms! And then I still got it wrong! FML!
Having to make due with what you have, because you know you won't be getting anything else. Creations that aren't sophisticated or pretty but they get the job done.
The system of cables they use to move cut timber down the mountain has got to be the ultimate in hillbilly engineering.
The number one cause for depression and suicide in engineering students. This program is so incompetent Satan wouldn't even use it to punish the damned because he wouldn't have the patience to input the 30 letter and number sequence to open the account. See also Mastering Chemistry, Mastering Physics, Mastering literally insert anything here. They're all equally crap.
"My professor assigned us Mastering Engineering this semester."
"That's rough buddy *ties you a noose*"
1) Hardest of the engineering disciplines and probably the hardest undergrad major ever. By the time you are three years into it, you'll hear strange noises at night and get increasingly paranoid. Some go insane or so the legends tell.
2) making other majors sound worthless
3) intense rape
Dude 1: "What's your major man?"
Dude 2: "Chemical Engineering"
Dude 1: "...how long do you think you'll last?"
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
An absolutely foolproof way to keep minors from viewing content deemed "too mature" for them to watch.
Billy: "So I was trying to watch some videos for an M rated game, and I ran into an age gate, so I put in my real birthday. SOMEHOW it managed to figure out that I am 12. CURSE YOU AGE GATE!!!"
Bill: "Fucking age gate! *quick scroll* THERE! I was born on January 1, 1904. Fuck you age gate."
