Omg trying to walk my dad through his Mastering online assignments site was excruciating

To start with there's one assignment already just to teach you how to use the website, and in particular there's a question that's supposed to be impossible to know because it's trying to teach you how to use the Hints feature... but he doesn't get that so he's just getting wound up that he can't figure out this impossible to figure out question

-_-

Fast-forward to the last page the assignment and it's just a bunch of videos trying to tell you about a Growth Mindset, to accept your failures, and view them as opportunities to learn from, and oh god my dad definitely does not have this

Fast-forward again, he's finished this sample quiz and now he sees that a Chapter 1 Study Guide is available so he tries it -- it's not marked, it's full of questions to test what you know so you can focus on what knowledge you're lacking............ and my dad's already getting so frustrated that he doesn't know the answers despite the fact that he, y'know, hasn't even read a thing from the e-book yet. ohhh my goddddd, I try to point out to him the whole lesson on a Growth Mindset he was just skipping through and he's like yeah what BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW THIS ONE OKAY (obviously a lie, there's nothing special about that question that he "needs" to know the answer immediately)

Again I have *absolutely no idea* why he's taking courses when he clearly isn't even interested in learning anything, he just wants to magically have the answers and prove he knows stuff he doesn't know. Anyways I left him be because my god I'm not going through all your studying and test-taking, but he just wants to scan the book for the answer so he can fill it in on this "quiz" that isn't even marked and is just supposed to be a knowledge guide to help him studyyyyy. But boy part of it is just completely hilarious after that section on a Growth Mindset treating mistakes as a positive thing learn from and right after my dad goes through that he gets so mad whenever he doesn't know anything, when again, he hasn't even studied anything at all yet.
