Should You Type Your Math Homework or Write It by Hand?

This lesson addresses a common question among adult learners, returning college students, and STEM majors:

Should mathematics homework be typed or written by hand?

The lesson argues that both methods serve different purposes and that students often confuse homework practice with exam preparation. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Homework and Exams Are Different Skills

One of the primary ideas presented in this lesson is that homework and examinations are not the same activity.

Homework develops:

  • Conceptual understanding.
  • Technical communication.
  • Software proficiency.
  • Problem solving experience.
  • Professional presentation skills.

Examinations develop:

  • Speed.
  • Recall.
  • Time management.
  • Stress management.
  • Handwritten problem solving.

The lesson stresses that students become better at whatever they practice most frequently. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Doing homework prepares you for homework. Practicing exams prepares you for exams.

The Value of Typing Homework

The lesson recommends typing homework whenever possible using professional software tools.

Examples include:

  • Microsoft Word.
  • Microsoft Excel.
  • Microsoft PowerPoint.
  • LaTeX systems.
  • Digital communication tools.

The argument is that employers frequently request experience with professional software environments and strong written communication skills. Students can begin building those skills while completing coursework. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Building Professional Experience

The lesson repeatedly references a common requirement found on job applications:

Excellent written and oral communication skills.

Students are encouraged to treat homework assignments as opportunities to develop professional communication habits.

Benefits include:

  • Improved technical writing.
  • Greater familiarity with workplace software.
  • Professional formatting experience.
  • Portfolio development.
  • Resume building.

The lesson argues that years of experience with these tools accumulate gradually through consistent use. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Why Practice Exams Matter

Although homework may be typed, examinations are often completed by hand.

Because of this, students are encouraged to schedule regular handwritten practice exams.

The recommended strategy is:

  • Three practice sessions per week.
  • Three levels of difficulty.
  • Three questions per session.
  • Timed conditions.
  • Handwritten solutions.

The purpose is to develop exam specific skills while still gaining the professional benefits of digital homework preparation. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

If your exams are handwritten, then your exam practice should also be handwritten.

Learning from the Textbook

Another major topic discussed throughout the lesson is textbook usage.

Students are reminded that:

  • The course follows a specific textbook.
  • The assignments come from that textbook.
  • The examples come from that textbook.
  • The exams are based on that textbook.
  • The lecture supports that textbook.

For this reason, students are encouraged to spend the majority of their study time working directly with the assigned material. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Using Technology as a Skill Builder

The lesson presents technology as more than a convenience.

Technology is viewed as a professional skill that requires years of practice to master.

Students are encouraged to develop experience with:

  • Document creation.
  • Technical writing.
  • Data organization.
  • Digital communication.
  • Professional presentation tools.

Using these tools throughout college allows students to accumulate experience long before applying for employment. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Simulating Real Exam Conditions

A significant recommendation throughout the lesson is that practice exams should mimic actual testing conditions.

Students should:

  • Work under time limits.
  • Avoid outside assistance.
  • Write solutions by hand.
  • Create realistic pressure.
  • Review mistakes afterward.

The closer the practice environment resembles the real testing environment, the more valuable the preparation becomes. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Long Term Career Preparation

The lesson ultimately frames homework as part of a larger career preparation process.

Rather than viewing assignments as isolated academic tasks, students are encouraged to use them to develop:

  • Technical communication skills.
  • Software experience.
  • Professional habits.
  • Documentation skills.
  • Portfolio materials.

The combination of academic knowledge and professional experience creates a stronger foundation for future employment opportunities. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Use homework to build professional skills and use practice exams to build testing skills.

Final Message

This lesson argues that typed homework and handwritten exams serve different educational purposes. Students are encouraged to use professional software while completing coursework and to separately practice handwritten examinations under realistic testing conditions. Together, these two approaches help develop both academic mastery and career readiness. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Original Podcast

All right, my children. It’s that time again.

We’ll save the uh the Nespresso for the daily upset. All right, let’s go through the comments here. Let’s see who’s at the top today. Who’s lucky contestant gonna be banned from my channel? Let’s see here. Uh

okay. Uh, spacetime entanglement. That’s the correct response. You are great, Jonathan. That’s the correct response. Uh, let’s see. Logic works. You said a lot of stuff. Just acknowledging that there is a hair tickling my face. It’s like locked into my glasses, my spectacles. All right, let’s go down. Is there any any questions to address this morning? Okay.

Well, we got ourselves the first uh J 9463 is going to be God. I just losers. You guys You guys are pathetic, dude. J O R9463. Dude, get a life, dude. Okay, don’t leave stupid comments on my channel. I’m reading pre-alggebra book by Elaine Martin. Okay. I’m Hey, I’m raising a couple of Rama Rama. Uh I I don’t know anything about teaching infants math. Okay. So, I don’t know what to tell you on that. Uh look, I don’t want to be that guy. Then don’t be that guy, dude. Uh

ah God, what do you what do you Dude, you just write a gigantic blob of nonsense, bro. I don’t take anything seriously. That’s not unedit. That’s unedited. All right. You’re like a 12-year-old. I’ve seen stupid thinking, but this

all right. So, we’ll uh imbecile imbecile. The land of idiots is YouTube comments. Like, you guys, I mean, you need to understand you’re all idiots when you leave stupid ass comments. I’m just like, what is wrong with you kids? Get a life bra. All right. Synthetic A, let’s address Synthetic A’s question. Everybody else, you’re douchebags. Leave my channel. I’ve watched a few of your videos. I’m 42, going back to school. Congratulations, my child. It’s never too late. I’m about the same age as you. I’m 41. So, uh, main reason why, uh, blah blah blah blah blah blah was fear of learning math. I’ve struggled with developmental math and had little easier D. God, it’s a lot of, right? I have protoed test. How would I? Okay. So, should you be writing math in print or should you be writing math with pencil and paper? Well, I addressed this many times in my videos. If you haven’t watched all my videos, then you you’re just you’re asking a question I’ve already addressed. But I will make a video on this topic this morning. I’m going to make it to after I talk about myself for 20 minutes and then I give 12-year-olds in 20-year-old bodies an excuse to leave a comment on the internet to show the world how pathetic they are and future employers to search the internet and find a pathetic loser they’re never going to hire imbeciles delete the crap off the internet that traces back to you. You are not anonymous. Google owns everything. You leave a comment through Google, every company on the planet has access to the stupidity that is your mind.

H no on on the let’s have a great day hour. Should you write math? Uh should you be writing math or typing math? Okay, look. This is what I say in my videos, okay? I show you guys how to type math in Microsoft Word. Not because of any other reason other than the fact that if you look at a job application, they want 3 to 5 years of related work experience and excellent written and oral communication skills. and then they say Microsoft Office. What does that mean to you? It means you need 3 to 5 years of experience using Microsoft Office tools to communicate with people. I suggest that you type your homework in Microsoft Word and use Excel and PowerPoint and all the other digital tools that you may come across in the workforce so that you can have familiarity with these things come the time that you apply for a job. You need 3 to 5 years of experience doing that. If you spend three to five years writing by hand, watching idiots draw on digital coloring boards on the internet, and using an AI product designed to mimic garbage, you’re not getting an education. There’s pointless to go to college. All these kids that leave these comments, they they are they are like they’re like what you call the I don’t know, the golden turd. Like you got these corporations that are just, you know, these kids that are on YouTube watching Khan Academy using AI, all these companies like, “God, these kids are so stupid. I love it.” It’s like, “Look at all this free money they’re giving us.” And then and then when they’re done giving us all their money, getting no education, they drive us to the airport when they become Uber drivers. And they think that they’re going to become PhDs and make quarter million dollar get a quarter million dollar a year salary with the ability to watch other people do math and have AI do nothing for them. I got news for you kids. No company is going to hire somebody with four years of experience writing by hand, watching Khan Academy, and using AI. Sorry. We can do that ourselves. We can hire a high school student to do that. We can hire a high school student to do that. Ly still waking up. So there’s no argument to be had here. Okay. You need 3 to five years of experience. Meaning excellent written and oral communication skills. Three to five years of practicing the art of having good oral and communication skills. These idiots that leave these comments are practicing the art of destroying their future. terrible written and oral communication skills. They can’t edit anything. They act like they know something. They’re like, “I disagree with what you’re saying.” Unedited, bad grammar, no citations, no reference, no sources, no credentials, but I’m right. These are exactly what future employers don’t want to have anything to do with. Now, the funny thing is is that these kids are so stupid, so young, so uneducated, so premature, so undeveloped that they think that I’m telling them to act like idiots more. That’s the That’s the nature of testosterone is that I tell you you’re an idiot, so you’re like, “I’m an idiot. I’m gonna show you how much of an idiot I can be now. I’m gonna put my entire future at risk to prove you wrong that I’m a bigger idiot than you think I am.

Mom, Sunny D, this guy is telling me the truth again, and I don’t like it.” I mean, that’s how they sound to adults. That’s how you sound to adults when you leave comments like that, children. This guy’s an adult. He’s 42. He has a real question. He’s like, why the heck? Why are you having me? Why are you telling me to write in print when my exams are going to be by hand? I go, I address that all the time. So, you understand why you need good written and oral communication skills. You need multiple years of experience using Microsoft Office tools. You’re not going to be able to pick it up on the fly. You need years of experience using it and everything that integrates with it all digitally. I recommend that you go look at job applications, look at the skills and qualifications that you need for the jobs you’re considering applying for down the road and see what they want. Three to five years of experience with handwriting, cheating with Khan Academy, cheating with AI, you can’t even cheat with AI. AI doesn’t do anything. Cheating with private tutors. They don’t want that. They want somebody who is punctual, has respect, has good written and oral communication skills, multiple years of experience with that. So, I suggest you use the tools that are on your future job application. That’s what I’m suggesting. Now, when I show you how to do notes, I have videos of me going through the books, showing you guys how to take notes properly and how to work the example questions. You do all of that in typing your homework. You type in it. You type it until you understand it. And then you extract three questions three times a week. Three levels of difficulty. Nine questions total. Three 15minute exams. Three times a week. Three levels of difficulty. 15 minutes per exam. 45 minutes of work a week doing practice exams. Doesn’t matter if you get the questions right. You just do what you can do in 15 minutes or less. Because what that tells you right off the bat is that you don’t know nothing. You think you’re learning things, watching people on Khan Academy, cheating with AI, you think you’re learning things until you take that exam and you realize you don’t know anything. So you do all your homework. You type up all your homework and then you give yourself a practice exam. And the practice exam is done by hand so that you can see whether you know what you’re doing or not and how long it’s going to take you to write it by hand. Doing your homework by hand is not going to help you do your exams by hand. Doing your homework by hand is going to help you get really good at doing your homework by hand. Doing practice exams by hand is going to get you really good at doing exams by hand. So, do your homework with technology that you need on your future resume for a job. And if you want to know what technology that is, go look at like 10 different job applications for companies you’re interested in working for, and you’ll be shocked to see that they want good written and oral communication skills. That doesn’t say be a douchebag and leave stupid comments on the internet to a complete stranger that’s unedited and no grammar leading back to your IP address that Google has access to and knows exactly who you are. It says good written and oral communication skills, which is what you’re doing. You’re addressing me like an adult. So, I’m not talking to you in this case. I’m talking to the stupid high school kids that should be banned from the internet.

Okay? That does that make sense? You got to take practice exams every week. The what what separates the failures from the graduates is people who take practice exams. What separates the stu the A students from the B students are the students who choose the questions for the practice exam correctly. Those questions come from your textbook. Uh it’s very difficult for a lot of you to understand that you’re wrong about everything. I’m trying to tell you what’s correct and you still it’s like your brain’s like, “Huh? Uh I’m speaking I’m right. Have you met me? Ah, I’m SP. I’m I’m speaking. That means I am right. I’m God. Hey, I just got to this universe. I’m God. I mean, that’s how kids sound today. They’re like, have you heard me talk before? I read a.com article or a Reddit. I know what I’m talking about. But it’s like Beus and Buttthead. I mean, the majority of kids in college today, go watch the Beas and Buttthead show. That is the average comment there on YouTube.

So look, check yourself before you wreck yourself. An a student chooses the correct questions. The qu the correct questions come from the book. Why would they come from Zbook? Because you are in class to study that book. So you are not in class to study another book. You’re in class to study that book. You are in class to study the book they give you. I’ve had this I have this every year. These stupid kids, I don’t have a textbook. I go, did you did you read your syllabus? Yeah, there’s no textbook. I go, “Okay, pull up your syllabus and show.” I don’t need to. I I They pull it up and they’re like, “Oh, yeah. Right there’s an ISBN. Right there’s the book. Right here it says disclaimer. If you use anything but this book, we’ll ask you to leave class.” And they’re like, “Oh, but I was talking.” So, I figured I was right because I was talking. Like, if it’s in my head, I’m right. Like, I read an a.com article filled with ads. It’s in my head. I’m right. Have you met me? Have you met the modern kid today or adults in America or Canada? That’s what they sound like. You meet people from other countries. I don’t know. Maybe it’s a language barrier. Are they stupid like Americans are? I’m not saying anything against my country cuz I am from Earth. We are all the same mothering race, homie. All right. However, there’s humans and people, and that’s a crapshoot. Whenever a woman opens her legs, you don’t know what you’re getting. a human or a person. All people are humans, but not all humans are people. And all humans are animals, but not all animals are human. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, little girl. Take a big fat hit of oxygen. You need it. Your brain is going downhill. So, uh, anyways, look, all I’m telling you guys is you need 3 to 5 years of experience using like 20 to 30 different softwares that you can do your homework with. So why not do your homework with what you need experience with so that when you graduate you’ve got the experience. That’s why I started Plem Academy. Plem Academy guides you through that. I give you thousands of lessons to go through step by step by step by step by step over a period of three to five years so that and I provide mentorship sessions so that you get the good oral communication side of it and peer review so you get the good written communication side. all done digitally with like 30 different things and you just practice this a few hours every month for years and then you have the necessary experience.

You can do that on your own. It’s just usually it’s easier for people to engage with other people to stay on track, but you can do that on your own. That’s what I did. I did it on my own. I’m sharing with you guys what I did on my own to to develop all these skills. But you have to write if your exams are procratoed. Yeah, you got to practice your exams. But look, you’re never going to get good at taking exams if you don’t practice taking exams. When you guys are doing homework, you’re getting really good at doing homework. When you’re practicing exams, you’re getting really good at practicing exams. It’s such a simple logical connection. But the thing is is that taking an exam and reading the textbook before lecture is like the hardest thing in the world for people to do. But the professor expects you to have read the chapter that the lecture is on before a lecture. Then you have the excuse-making victimizing little twerps. What am I paying them for? Did you read the code of conduct? Did you read the syllabus? Do you know what a lecture is? Do you know what a professor is? Do you know what a university is? No. How the hell did you get in there? Your parents must have a lot of money cuz how the hell did you get in there if you don’t understand how college works? The professor is not a teacher. It’s not a class. It’s a lecture. The professor historically does not do problem solving during session. They show you the derivation of the techniques you’re allowed to use from the book that is assigned and then you take those techniques and you apply them to problem solving on your own. If you get lost or stuck, you go to the professor who points you in the correct direction. You are solving fake problems. These are not real world problems. The more of them you know how to solve, the more of them you know how to solve. They’re never going to use them in the real world. You guys think memorizing a whole bunch of songs makes you a better musician. It doesn’t. I talk about that all the time. The historically what the professor does, they give you a textbook at the beginning of the semester. They do a review of previous information. Now you have time to get caught up on the textbook for the next class to get ahead. They they review stuff pre previous. then into the introduction of the book which is a review. So you would have already covered the review section because it’s a review. That’s why the first chapter is a review. That’s why the first lecture is a review. Now you have the textbook. Now you’re supposed to get a couple chapters ahead before the next class. I recommend you get two weeks ahead before the semester starts. You can get ahead on the information before the semester starts from any book. You just have to transition into the book that they assign you upon the start of the semester. the professor and expects you to have been prepped for the class before class. They have given you the book. They have said the book says if you read most books in the preface chapter it says you need to read this book before lecture. You guys one out of a hundred of you will actually work in in math, physics or engineering. And only about 20 out of a hundred of you will actually graduate. Those 20 out of you that actually graduate in math, physics, engineering, computer science will never work in math, physics, engineering, or computer science. Because nobody is going to hire somebody that is skilled at writing with pencil and paper, taking crappy exams, getting crappy grades, memorizing solutions from the internet, using AI to do everything for them. They are a useless turd, a golden turd. They make a lot of money for the schools and the corporations and the social media companies. And at after all the gold is sucked out of that, they’re just a turd.

And that what happens is when you have an if you’re a turd and you have an education in math, physics, engineering, or computer science, you’re overqualified to work anywhere and you’re not qualified to work anywhere because you don’t know how to do anything. So you’re backed into a corner called contract labor. All the tutors on Wise Ant are failed math and physics students that learned by cheating with things like Khan Academy. Now they are passing down the art of cheating while robbing the government, defrauding the government of taxpayer dollars. It’s the circle of cheating. People that are narcissistic who think they’re intelligent. I’m helping you cheat through your course. You’re stealing from the government. Now you’re going to get a fake degree and help other people cheat through their course who steal from the government and you’ll continue the cycle of cheating. I did that. I was part of that. I was a private tutor. I did exactly that. However, a few years into tutoring, I stopped accepting computer science students, math students, physics students, engineering students. Sometimes I’d take minor compsai um people sometimes, but I would be very clear with them that if they continue tutoring that it’s over for them. I would take actuary scientists, medical students, people that need to rip the band-aid of math off. It doesn’t matter. They’re never going to learn it. They’re never going to use it. They just need to get through the course. Those are the students I would take because I realized the math, physics, and engineering students were hopeless. If they if they had a private tutor, it’s hopeless. They’re never going to do anything. They might find a way to weasle through the degree, but no one’s ever going to give them a job. Companies can hire high school students that can learn from a private tutor to do nothing. You got to understand that when you’re in college, you’re in there to challenge yourself and become skilled and overcome obstacles. You’re not there to have other people do your work for you.

So my friend, let me reply to your comment here and tell you I’m uploading a video. I am uploading this morning’s video to this comment period. You are a lucky contestant number whatever. Lol be up shortly. All right. So I just replied to your comment. you a lucky contestant in the go down the douchebag high school kids that are no longer in high school cuz it’s summer. It’s like a surplus of stupid idiots when they whenever the summer gets here. It’s amazing. It’s just like an endless supply of future Uber drivers pretending that they’re mathematicians.

Feels good to say that. Look, uh so just just for you as one to one adult maturity, you’re 42. who understand what it looks like to apply for a job that requires a lot of skills and qualifications. The reason why I’m telling you to write with Microsoft Word and use software and technologies when you’re doing your homework, not just your math homework, every homework you do should be done professionally as if it’s a professional document paper that is going to be published. Every time you do your homework, it should be clean and polished like it’s going to be published. That’s why I have you write a textbook one page at a time perfectly. Good written and oral communic excellent written and oral communication skills and years of experience to back it up. That’s where the website that hosts it. That’s where the book you write comes into play. So you can say, “Yeah, I worked with the Plem Academy team for three years. I wrote this book. I learned all these softwares. Here’s the website that I have that shows everything I’ve done.” Bada bing, bada boom. Who wouldn’t want to hire that? You’ve got the skills. We’ve got the proof. You’ve got the necessary years of experience. And you got a college degree. You’re hired. You’re hired. No. No. They want to hire the snot-nosed little turd monkeys that leave comments on social media to complete strangers that are unedited acting like they know something when they’ve never done anything. Incredible. The mind of a mad man, mad boy, tea boy, tea girl, lady boy. All right. So, anyways, yeah, that I mean it makes sense, right? You need three to five years of experience using 30 different softwares. you might as well do your homework with them and do it professionally so that you have that skill set. Then your exams are proctored and written by hand. So when you do your practice exams every week, you should do those by hand. Take one of them to the professor during office hours and have them grade one of the questions for you. So you can see how they will grade your work so that when you do your practice exams, you can thusly grade them yourself after the fact the way the professor would. Now you know how they’re thinking. Just doing that once will increase your grade 20%. Now, there’s methods to taking exams that will basically ensure you’ll ace every single exam. And I will dis I will disclose this information to you guys in podcast form at some point if you’re lucky little boy. Lucky, lucky. I will disclose the truth. I know everything. I’m not a god, okay? I just play one on YouTube in the plum world. I’m like god of thunder. I’m like god of plum education. I don’t know. Whatever. girls, give me a call. So, anyways, my hair will grow back, ladies. It’ll be long again. It’ll grow back. I just It turned into a dreadlock because I didn’t brush. I don’t know how you girls do it. I mean, it it makes sense why there’s two to 10 female engineer graduates. The rest of the girls are too busy doing their hair all day. I can’t believe how much work it is to have long hair. But it’ll come back and I will return to Fat Thor or what’s his name? Justin Samoso. Samosa. The Sam, Samos, Samos, Samos, Aquaman. I was I’m either Fat Thor, Aquaman, Jim Morrison, Rob Zombie. When my hair turned into dreadlocks, I was the lead singer of Corn. I mean, people think I’m these people. I go outside. I was at I was at a bar once, people thought I was Jeff Zack Zack Galipaga, the guy from Hangover movie. This girl was convinced I was him. I mean, she was convinced. She had her boyfriend come all the way downtown to meet me. I’m like, “I am not who you think I am.” And she’s like, “No, you are. I looked up your picture. You’re him.” And it might have had something to do with the fact that I just won $5,000 at the casino and I had a wad of hundreds and I was just paying with hundreds and I was like, “Keep the change.” I was having a good time. I like to I like to have fun. I’m a play hard, work hard kind of boy. So, I hope that makes sense to you, homie G. I don’t take uh you know, I got to beat these little kids up a little bit. I’m I don’t have any kids, right? I I’m like, you know, Red Foreman in that 70s show. His favorite part about being a dad is yelling at Eric. He goes, “That’s my favorite part.” Because the doctor said, “You got to lower your blood pressure.” He’s like, “That’s my favorite part about being a father.” So you kids come on here. My f I don’t have kids. So I I think of you as my spoiled rotten kids and I need to yell at you because you’re idiots and you’re ruining your future because you’re listening to an uneducated college student yourself. You, my friend, who’s my age. I’m 40. I’ll be 42 in September. So, I’m right there with you, buddy. I started college at 24. You can do it at any age. I watched many people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s flourish through these degrees. They do much better. Half like 30 20 or 30% of the graduates are adults returning to school for Plum. You’ll see a lot of adults in your classes at the senior level. Not necessarily the freshman or sophomore, but at the senior level, you’ll see a lot of adults. Um, but yeah, look, my point is you can do whatever you want. I’m just saying you need those years of experience. you might as well do it with the work that’s related to your job, too. Your homework’s related to your job. You’re using these tools to do your homework. That’s why you’re in college. That practice area, it’s the dojo, you know. Then do your exams proctored or written by hand, whatever. Make sure you do your exams in a very stressful situation. You don’t just do a practice exam over a cup of hot cocoa and a candle light. You wake up at four in the morning and go sit in front of a urinal at a gas station and take the exam. You need to mimic the stress that comes with the classroom environment. You got the 18-year-old nose picker eating his boogers next to you. The twitching the other one that’s twitching and the one girl who way wore way too much perfume. The other girl who’s got a thong popping out of her butt cheeks in front of you and you’re having a hard time not, you know, breaking the table. And then the teacher who 15 minutes in the exam goes, “Excuse me, class. Excuse me. Uh, there’s a typo on on problem three. Uh, it should be this.” And you’re like, “I just spent 20 minutes because of that typo.” Have any of you been there? Now I’m distracted. You’ll never get better at taking exams if you don’t practice taking exams and mimic that environment. That’s the point of the practice exams. The questions that are on the exams come from the textbook. They have to. You’re there to study that subject. They can’t make up questions. Any professor that makes up a question doesn’t understand math yet. If they do make up a question, now they have to bring it into the book and they have to prove it under all of the rules and then prove the answers right under all of the rules. Then they can assign you the question. No professor wants to do that because it’s a whole lot of work that takes away from their research. So, it’s pointless. They usually use the example questions and the reading that already have the solutions done for two reasons. One, they don’t have to do it now. Two, it’s from the book. Well, three reasons. Whatever. The most important reason is when you come to the lecture and you’re like, “You never showed me this, professor.” And the professor like, “Did you read the book?” Of course I did. Okay. Then you don’t on page 267, problem 3.1, whatever. It’s the exact same question word for word, number for number. And you’re like, “What am I paying you for if I have to read a book? That’s absurd.” I mean, this is how kids are raised. They watch their they watch their parents spend each other’s money and have everybody do everything for them. And they go to college and they’re like, “I watched my dad pay for all of my mom’s stuff. I watched my mom spend all my dad’s money. I watched my dad go drink himself to death. Why Why is the professor not doing my homework? My dad has a credit card. Why Why isn’t he do the prof my dad has a credit card? The professor should be doing my homework.” Like this is ridiculous. Like I I should be What? Have you met these people? I mean, they’re You’ll see them in class. I I mean, it’s really funny. It’s funny watching a a woman, a supposedly grown woman, like a 20 20-year-old woman in the middle of a exam with a hundred students get up and take her paper and go, “This is effing ridiculous.” And stomp down and just throw it at the professor. That was hilarious. And the professor was like dumbfounded because he the test was 10 questions and each question came directly from the book word for word for word for word number for number and not only were they from the book in the reading he also worked them during lecture and gave you the solution. He’s like I don’t understand why you guys are upset about anything. I literally solved every one of these problems in lecture from start to finish. All you had to do was solve those 10 problems and you would got a hundred on the exam. And nobody did that because they all went to Khan Academy. And they’re all pissed off because they watched all the solution methods from Khan Academy from different textbooks and they weren’t able to solve the questions because they never learned from the textbook that was assigned. And then they failed and they got pissed at the professor because they cheated and plagiarized and didn’t do anything. And they’re like, “My dad has a credit card. I shouldn’t have to do this.” No,

if you wait till you get to college, man. These kids are hilarious. So, anyways, so take that for what you will, man. You’re an adult. You should understand. Okay? You want to get good exams, you practice taking exams. The more you do homework, the better you get at homework. And if you’re going to do homework, you might as well kill two birds with one stone and use all the software that you need on your resume over the years that you’re in college. All right.
