Real outcomes
It's not the moment.
It's the grade.
ME students lose points for one missing constraint in the FBD, the wrong sign on a moment, or an energy balance that didn't account for work done by gravity. AskSia catches the conventions your professor enforces.
3.2->3.8+0.6
For Thermo I uploaded my problem sets and got worked solutions with property table values cited at every step. The Rankine versus Brayton visual map made the cycles easy to compare.
3.0->3.7+0.7
The Mock Exam mode generated ME problems including the unit conversions professors love to hide. The auto graded feedback caught a kg versus N error before the real exam.
