PathPlan Mechanics

Like everyone else have said, this app should NOT be used to be impacted on student’s grade. Please every professors that are using this STOP IMMEDIATELY YOU ARE KILLING US.

This app should not be used for any work that will be taken as a grade, it is extremely faulty and extremely frustrating. It has a lot of bugs and errors within it that need to be fixed before it can reach its potential. I dread doing any work on this app because of the numerous complications it has and in return it is extremely time consuming. Stick to a different method of learning.

Terrible beyond belief. Does not work in the slightest. The instructor insists upon using it, it has made my mental health go through the floor. I wake up every single morning and absolutely dread attempting to use this. It has genuinely made me cry multiple times.

App constantly crashes and is unable to reliably give any sort of meaningful feedback. If you swipe the wrong direction accidentally while doing a problem it will close that problem and once you go back the evaluate buttons will no longer work so you have to delete and reinstall the app and reset all the progress from that problem in order to fix it. I really don’t understand how a large university can think that an app like this is appropriate for teaching a class and basing their grade solely on it. You would think a physics teacher with a doctorate would be able to come up with a better way to teach students then with this app. I realize right now it is hard to teach fully online but this app is not the solution, at least not yet.

I understand the point of this app and believe if it was executed correctly it could be a very valuable way to teach students. However it simply is not ready to be used for a college course, let alone have an entire curriculum designed around it, which is how it was for my class. In its current state it would be best to offer this app as supplemental learning for students and have the actual homework and test grades come from somewhere else. About 90% of the grade in my course (probably a little more) came from doing problems in the app, whether that be homework or tests, which is unacceptable for an app that is barely functional. I would assume that the head of the Physics department at a university would have to approve to have the entire curriculum of a course designed around an app and I genuinely cannot understand how anyone could give this app the green light for that purpose if they have actually used it and tested it how the students would use it.

He expects us to use this solving problems when the app has problems. Can’t get any full credit because the app has bugs and you can’t go back and delete what you previously put down. It is very frustrating to use for homework and I dread doing this every week. The app needs more work

This program is laggy, crashes constantly, and deletes answers. It doesn’t grade anything properly. Even the teacher could only get 9/20 on an assignment we did together in class.
