Bad experiences

I feel like an idiot because I simply cannot learn anything in these classes to save my own life. Who designed this website??? Why do they make it so damn finicky to use? And don't even get me started on the exams... Only one attempt per problem??? With lag AND a time limit??? No thanks.

Costs way too much

Why should I pay 99 dollars just to access my homework? I don't want to pay for the ebook, but for some reason its mandatory

Cons:
  • Pricing manner

Preferred solution: I'm not sure if my professor or webassign made it this way... but it shouldn't cost money to access homework. Only should be necessary if you want the study materials

Doesn't accept answers from all devices

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
In my webassign graded course test, webassign only let me put in 25% of answers, all of which I got correct. But in the remaining 75% of questions the webassign system didn't even let me type in anything. This is ineffective designing to receive answers from only certain devices. There's no way to know which device would work with this webassign in advance. Now because of this, I'm no longer an A grade student.

  • Inconsistencies in problems

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: There's no way to know if this website is compatible with your device in advance of starting a homework or test on it. Ask your college to not to use webassign until they fix their website compatible with all devices. I would ideally would want to give a reliability rating of 0 based on my experience.

Crap website made by crap people, maintained by crap people where none of them know how to make a simple box in website to write test answers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Crap website made by crap people, maintained by crap people where none of them know how to make a simple box in website to write test answers. I mean, how much *** inefficient, oblivious web developer does someone have to be to have a unnecessary calcPad available in some questions but does not accept simple numbers.

If People get an answer in fractions or trigonometry, why would you require people to put answers through your *** calcPad calculator which looks way different than a normal calculator. And if people just wanna type in answers using '0-9' or 'A-Z' inputs why doesn't this *** webassign doesn't save the answers, why does this crap website doesn't even let people put answers using android keyboard. Do you want people to carry around a fregging desktop with them to just put answers in your crap webassign website? There's no way to know if this crap calcPad would work in a device in advance, or if this crap webassign would allow answers to be inputted from a device in advance before trying it.

Do you want people to start a test and do some questions and figure out then oh wait the crap designer didn't allow simple numbers to be inputtable from device.

Webassign allowed me to put in answers of only 25% of questions in my test of webassign , all of those I got correct. But it didn't even let me type in anything in the remaining 75% of questions, now I'm not an A student anymore because of incomplete programming of this webassign website.

User's recommendation: You have to try a homework on your device in advance to be sure if this webassign thing actually would work on your device or not. Or probably ask your college not to use webassign so that you don't end up having no grades. Also, my rate of 1 out of 5 for the website section is incorrect, I ideally would want to put a 0 or the least rating for their incomplete website.

FREE BOOK IS AWFUL

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My professor told us not to buy the book because it will be on included on the platform. Out of the 9 weeks of this quarter I was able to access it about 5 times and when I could it would freeze up, unable to turn the pages of the book. This is complete trash. SCHOOLS EFFECTED FROM THE PANDEMIC DO NOT I SAY DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM. The book doesn't even show you how to work out the problems. What a waste.

They have basically screwed me out of taking the college math class I should be in

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I took to this *** website due to my college requiring it for their math placement exam. I have just completed Calculus B at a very high level in high school and am going to be put around 3 levels down because of my score. I am able to retake the assignment but I know I won't score much higher because their "practice" for the test is the largest amount of bull that I have ever laid eyes on. On more than one occasion I was marked wrong for a correct answer and was even met with the site refusing to read my correct answer, forcing me to skip the step. Not to mention the extremely poor explanation and also complete lack of visual aid on problems that should warrant them. This only makes it harder for students like me who are very visually oriented. I am only so lucky as to not have spent any money on this, but I'll probably lose it in the college courses that I'll have to end up taking as a result

Forced to be used because of teachers that no longer do any work

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Worst software I have ever used. The overall website is incredibly unstable and problematic. I've used many free study websites that are more capable of this over priced one. Universities and schools need to stop using this and stop being lazy and actually start grading students.

This is exactly how I feel. Tuition pays for Canvas, where tests and assignments can be given or graded.

A traditional book with traditional, considered homework would be ten times the pedagogical tool a traditional book I could carry with me and review and study from would be. So, if a department or instructor is forcing anyone to pay for this piece of *** software, it is because they are forcing students to buy their convenience for them.

Terrible

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
The "Watch It" videos are nearly useless. The video instructor explains nothing. I would like to understand the process of solving it, not just writing out what it should be and expecting the student to know, just a reminder that students watch the videos to try to understand the whole process, not just get the answer. It's very discouraging to experience. Sucks I'll be stuck with this through two more calc classes =/

Awful

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
There is literally nothing good about this service. The problems are miles away from anything we learn in class or that the book provided with webassign teaches. The tutorials make no sense and it never tells you things like how many decimal places they want in the answer, making it the most frustrating experience. Please just delete the website and start from scratch.

WebAssign - I thought I was insane

I'm a gifted, straight A Dean's List student and I feel like a complete *** idiot because of this Calc 1 class. Everything I've learned, I've learned thanks to youtube videos and other websites.

I'm not just disappointed, I'm on the *** of organizing a petition to stop this book and website from ever being used at my college again.

The site and book have very few examples. The examples don't explain their steps (no narrative at all) and often skip multiple steps in one turn so it's difficult to track where the numbers and variables went. To add insult to injury, solutions are completed in a single-line, paragraph-style entry that makes it damn near impossible to see how many steps are being worked and what, exactly, they are. It's like they want you to suffer for practice.

I've never felt so uninspired by education in my life. I'm nearly reduced to tears every single time I use this site and accompanying book. I paid nearly $300 for this?

What a sadistic joke. Even the tutors at my school say the explanations are hideous and confusing.

Omg I totally agree with you!!! I am taking the calc 1 as a refresher (transfer engineering student to embry-riddle) and it makes me feel like an idiot snd making me re think eveything I know about math for no reason at all other than the prgram enjoys verbose, overly complicated explanations of some of the simplest mathmaticsl concepts. Im so pissed an upset

Garbage program for learning math

This program is complete *** It offers example problems (sometimes) but when it does and you go to look at the work, its imcomplete and skips steps. They also have a tutor tab however, it relocates you to chegg where you have to pay to use them. If you have to take a class that uses webassign, drop that class immediately.

NOT GOOD FOR STUDENTS

I hate everything about webassign, if you get a question wrong there are not hints nor explanations as to why your answer is wrong. Such a terrible and frustrating application.

I hate you

Hey WebAssign, Thanks for not putting how many decimal places you want my answer to be and then marking it wrong because I did not take my answer to the number of decimal places that you wanted. I AM NOT A MIND READER. I HATE YOU GUYS.

Pretty trash so far and I'm only on my second assignment.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
So, apparently I gotta pay $100 for the full version to graduate. I'm on the trial now and it's not taking my right answers, the videos are garbage, the instructor rushes and skips steps, I'm up late at night sometimes not sleeping not only trying to figure out this pre-calculus but the website itself. This should not be a problem, I don't know why these professors and colleges resort to online curriculum for a sensative subject like math. Math doesn't come easy for everyone like myself, if I'm paying for a service it should make the subject easier for me. This is more frustrating then not having notes at all. I wish there was a way to make a serious claim because my college only uses this terrible company for math..
