Wes Marburger, Spokane, WA
I had been experimenting with several other Algebra
programs...They fell short of the flexibility your product
allowed my students. With yours they could work
through each problem with the step-like solutions they
were accustomed to. The students did not have to
adapt to the program's needs, the program adapted to
the students' own method of solving problems.
Your program allows me to enter problems from my
own handouts and save them as a file. Students who
require extra practice or have been absent log on to
these files and work through them.
My favorite features include: large print for class
presentations; unlimited supply of practice problems;
and allows me to identify the hurdles students
encounter.
The students' favorite features are: an uncluttered
screen; immediate feedback for each step taken (they
can practice "doing right" instead of finding out twenty
minutes later they had been all along practicing
"wrong"); hints; and watching the system solve
problems. These capabliities allow the student to get
help without guilt.
Your program deserves a prize.

Wes is great teacher and a real force of nature. In the days before
Web casting he had me do a presentation to a computer group with
him demonstrating the software and me on the speakerphone. Man,
those were the days! Wes wrote this back in the 90s, I think:
