The junior who understood control theory for the first time.
I'd passed two control classes without ever really understanding what a Bode plot said. Brainback would not let me get away with it.

Yuki had passed EE undergraduate control theory with a B+ using online solution manuals. She could pass problem sets. She could not, on demand, sketch the Bode plot of a simple system from its transfer function.
For her senior capstone she started using Brainback for every Bode plot and root locus problem. The tutor kept forcing her back to the fundamentals: what are the poles, what are the zeros, what does each contribute?
By the end of the semester, she could sketch a Bode plot without a computer. Her capstone project — a stabilization loop for a small drone — worked on the first hardware test. She calls it her first engineering win.

“It's the first AI I've allowed on my kids' devices without a fight. Because it doesn't hand them the answer.”
“My first practice MCAT score was a 495. My real MCAT was a 517.”
