MyMathLab is awful

Question: "Do you trust the predicted data?"

 

Me: Not really, I'm not even sure what it's referring to honestly.

 

*Clicks answer, gets it wrong, clicks a second answer, also wrong*

 

Me: No, wait, scratch that, I do trust the data, apparently. Glad they informed me of that.

 

Seriously, Why are they asking me an opinion if they are looking for a correct answer.

 

And don't even get me started on when it decides to ask me to estimate.

I have a screenshot of the time it showed me my graph and the "right" graph and marked me wrong when they were 100% identical.
 
Unfortunately I'm not on that computer currently.

I've learned that school never actually wants to know what you think, or if you trust it.

 

Rather, it always asks "what did the curriculum designer think about what this statement meant" or "did the curriculum designer trust this data"

 

As such, one must just act as though they wrote all these silly questions and somehow it all works out.

 

(I really hate it when they ask it like that, though. Really makes no sense. If you are taking a stats class and asking about data like that, ask if the data is reliable, or if there are any outliers, etc etc. Really isn't all that hard to actually ask what you want to know. -.-)

MasteringPhysics is terrible for me...

 

*Rounds to two significant figures, like it asks.

 

*Significant digits feedback: it changes my answer to three significant figures because that's totally two.
