<p>Has anyone on here ever done calculus on WebAssign? If you have, did you like it?</p>
<p>My physics class uses webassign for the homework. The lectures are on campus though.</p>
<p>Personally, I’m not really a fan of it. It has some good aspects, but I’d rather not have it personally. Some of the practice problems have tutorial videos and worked examples, which is a nice bonus. But, I prefer handing in homework on paper. The biggest drawback is that you only enter the actual answer for the problem the majority of the time. Some of them are “guided problems” where you have to enter relevant equations as you go, and show a few different steps as it goes along. You simply enter the answer for most of them though. What I don’t like about that is it doesn’t really give you any feedback. If you got the answer wrong, it just tells you that it’s wrong. It doesn’t tell you where it went wrong or anything like that. With a problem that’s worked out on paper, the professor can point out what you did wrong.</p>
<p>My Calc homework is on Webassign. It’s fine. I just don’t like homework.</p>
<p>I think that’s what one of my old calc classes used… I remember it being pretty good. It was able to parse solutions pretty well (so, figure out if your solution matches the correct one), which was really nice. It also had a “practice another version” button, which was helpful when the number of attempts was limited.</p>
<p>WebAssign is great when it’s not crashing.</p>
<p>I thought WebAssign was great. Especially compared to the crap I have to use now.</p>
<p>I hate WebAssign. I liked My Math Lab/My Labs plus much better. They had a feature called “help me solve this” where it walked you through the problem- it also frequently told you where you went wrong in your answer. WebAssign has none of this and is really a pain.</p>
<p>WebAssign does have a tool that walks you through the problem. This function is not available for 100% of the problems. They do not, however, tell you where you went wrong in your final answer.</p>
<p>Woot. I’m on this website because Webassign is crashed. Whatever, it wasted $70 of my money, but it’s the last math course of my life unless I feel like completing the math minor in the extra units of my last semesters…</p>
