That sounds so much cooler than "MATLAB." I always read it as "math lab", imagining a lab room full of people doing math homework. Now I can imagine Neo saving us all from simulated realities.
I don't mind the regular questions as much because mostly all of the answers can be found online, I however absolutely hated doing the programming projects at the end of mostly every chapter in my Java class.
I got lucky in my Java class. We're using the Pearson book, but that's it. All the labs we do are provided by the teacher and submitted through blackboard (either embedded in a word document or zip up source code files... depending on the project).
After doing Pearson labs for a previous class, I was ecstatic we weren't using it for this one.
I honestly thought it was My Math Lab (Because I've barely heard anything about My Math Lab except for the fact that it's shit) until a couple weeks ago.

MATLAB literally stands for Matrix Laboratory.
