By Ctrl+F'ing, I find 5 mentions of the word "master", none of which are the master theorem. I prefer this to CLRS as, while it's a neat trick, it tends to result in a bunch of people memorising the cases (and taking a "because the book told me to" level of understanding away from that part of the course).

Exactly. The students should be the masters, not the theorem.
