We always love hearing WebAssign student success stories, so a special thanks to Kiana for taking a moment to share her WebAssign experience with us. Kiana is a sophomore at Columbus State University in Georgia and is studying psychology.
She is currently deciding which path to take with psychology; she either wants to work in a clinic or the business industry or be a community counselor. In her spare time, she likes to play soccer, practice singing, and write poetry. Currently she works for her school’s housing office as a Student Advocate Peer Mentor.
What class did you use WebAssign with?
I used WebAssign in my Math 1101 class, which is Math Modeling.
How did this class and/or the use of WebAssign help you learn math better?
WebAssign helped me because it has so many tools:
- Study Guides that imitate the test
- A link to the textbook next to the homework assignments
- A link to sample problems next to the homework assignments
- Homework assignments walked me through the problems step by step
- Extra credit was given for completing assignments early
What aspects of WebAssign did you like best or did you use the most?
I definitely used and liked the study guides that were given out at a good length of time before the tests. They were set up like the tests but were more difficult, so when we received the actual tests they were simple in comparison.
What advice do you have for students who are struggling with math?
I would tell any struggling students to definitely get in touch with his or her teacher as soon as possible so that they can keep up in his or her classes, but to keep up with their online homework as well. Although a student shouldn’t completely eliminate the interaction between teacher and student, online help (such as WebAssign) can do a great job in being that substitute for a teacher when students aren’t able to meet up with their teacher as frequently as they would like.
