Pros/Cons
Pros
- It's super flexible, easy to use, has amazing accessibility and I would definitely recommend it.
- The Canvas guides, videos, Community and help desk are really fabulous. Being able to access the answer to development questions 24/7 is a game changer for motivated learners.
- I love that I can see my employees progress on assignments and test, as well as they can see their progress. It is easy to use for both myself and employees.
Cons
- I hate that there is not an autosave feature, specially when building quizzes. More than once, I accidentally save the quiz without saving the individual question and loose a ton of work.
- The color theme of even and odd Courses seems weird. The odd courses are shown in a faded color which gives the illusion of inactive course.
- The calendar function is especially bad. There are also times where it is very frustrating to navigate around the People section.
Pros
- The 3D capabilities of this software are great visuals. The input was fairly easy, and the calculus based operations were helpful in understanding the concepts.
- The interface is aesthetically pleasing and intuitive. The ability to add hierarchical cells is a big advantage and allows to format notebook in a beautiful way.
- It’s amazing when you don’t need to write code and just need to analyse some data. It helps in speeding up work and great for college studies.
Cons
- Often Mathematica code won't run for entirely unexplained reasons. The program is often unintuitive and aggravating, and for a program touting its usability, this is unacceptable.
- Its difficult to understand the typos or mistakes, as the displayed error message is not easy to understand. There is a learning curve associated with the use of Mathematica.
- I dislike how the tutorials are not very well organized.
