Edmentum Reviews 252

I can't focus because the lessons are so boring. Most of the time, the lessons don't even match up with the questions on the test. It leaves me frustrated and confused.

this should NOT be allowed in schools. nothing in edmentum is relevant to what i am learn the tutorials should not be as long as they are the progress check never has anything to do with the tutorial and no matter what they never tell you what you got wrong on it so how can i correct myself? this is the stupidest thing they put in schools and should b illegal.

I'm learning Spanish right now (even though I'm not even in highschool yet) and Edmentum is horrible. It doesn't explain what you have to do and it really just doesn't teach you a thing. You expect me to memorise something by putting it on a list and not letting me refer to it later? They literally didn't even try to make this site student-friendly.

The diagnostic takes way to long and stresses me and my fellow students out. Its a very bad app in general.

So, most of these reviews say that the grammar was bad. That's improved since then. (At least in my experience.) What hasn't improved though is the, "Progress Check" Most of the stuff you do in the tutorial has very little correlation to the progress check.

This. Thing. SUCKS. I am SO mad about why this is even here. Why does it even exist? I literally want to sue the person who came up with the idea. They literally told me to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and I dont even know that. Someone PLEASE delete this thing.

im a young student and I feel bad for ppl who use this illegal thing as “education”. it stresses me out and makes me feel like I’m being executed in nk. plus it adds stuff that I don’t even know. like one time I was in 3rd grade and I had to do long division which I didn’t even know existed. we had to literally do this in library for 99 years and have only five minutes to go read. like no I don’t want to do this stupid thing I just wanna read my diary of a wimpy kid. lucky that this year the school librarian talked the board into letting us read for library. BYE (also I don’t know what date of experience means)

If you're ever to use this crappy learning curriculum, then I'm very sorry for you. Edmentum is the worst learning platform, and I can guarantee you that you'll be dying of boredom before you could even finish a week's worth of lessons. Most of the assignments are simply writing. AND LOTS OF IT. You'll be spending AT LEAST 7 hours a day researching, info gathering, writing, and answering questions. Another thing is their progression system. Edmentum has these short quizzes that have questions that you've never seen before, worst of all you need an 80% to continue! >:O
I'm sick of writing this. All I've ever been doing is WRITE. Look at this awfully long review! This is what that platform did to me! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I HATE EDMENTUM, The fact that on mastery tests you have to get %80 to pass is stupid and they keep switching the questions so that’s pretty dumb. The grading system is horrible as well you can have a %90 A course grade and with one %52 Grade on a test your grade will plummet to a D. Over all I think that schools need to stop using this and look for a new way to help students make up classes.

its the worst the grading is stupid its a wast of time, there is a literal site full as answers the actual tests and tutorials mean and do NOTHING they don't teach you nor help you at all

If I could give it 0 stars or negative I would. Edmentum is probably the WORST way of learning I and others have ever experienced. You do not learn anything from this program and are basically wasting your time and money by purchasing this absolute piece of garbage.

Edmentum is quite possibly the worst learning program that i have ever had the displeasure of using. during school i had failed a math class, it was my fault i failed. and my guidance counselor had suggested that i use Edmentum to retake the class saying ''you could just do it all in 2 hours and be done with it forever'' with that in mind i had waited for a while to start it. and when i did i noticed just how poorly optimized and foolishly it had been put together. i have been doing it for about 2-3 months now and i am working on it during summer vacation now. with no end in sight, as it doesn't even tell how many lessons are left. and it just randomly crashes all the time. at one point even saying that i needed to rotate my screen while i was on a desktop pc...
This site is full of questions that really make no sense. while working on math, my dad who is a computer analyst at a company who deals with numbers every day says that lots of the answers are just wrong and are ''moronic''. this site is also littered with grammatical errors and feels like it was all thrown together in 5 minutes by a teenager who made this as a sick joke. To make things worse the material that I'm supposes to making up for the class i failed to prove that I could actually understand the class, none of it actually pertains to what i learned that year. when doing the lessons before the progress check i have noticed that what you learn in the lesson also has no correlation to the progress check, so what's the point of the lesson?

I had Biology and it was a nightmare. Frist, it wasted my time by requiring me to take pre-tests before it allowed to to take the tutorials. Each pre-test had about forty five questions that took about two hours. If I flunk the pre-test then I wasted my time and learned nothing. If I aced the pre-test then I didn't learn anything new. Second, the tests and quizzes at the end of the tutorials had questions that had nothing to do with what the tutorials taught. Third, to move on to next tutorial, I must had 80% correct on the quiz, and this at-least 80% requirement had no legal basis to keep me behind because legally speaking, a pass is 60% or more (not 80%). Edmentum Biology main objective was out to fail students. I would never again take Edmentum courses.

it’s literally making me want to pull my hair out. the tutorials are insanely long, and then the tests after you complete them often have nothing to do with the tutorials. instructions are hard to follow and the questions are never explained. i already struggle with math, i don’t need a website making me feel dumber than i already do.

Edmentum has to be one of the most convoluted and confusing educational tools of all time. As a student who is forced to use this on the daily, I can attest that edmentum, specifically exact path, is very poorly constructed. There is often spelling and grammatical errors within the lessons as well as lessons that do not make sense. My mom, who got her major in English, was unable to make sense of the reading lessons. Educators, if you are considering using this tool, I strongly advise you not to.

Ive used edmentum for summer school for the past two years and I can easily say I was not impressed. The entire premise of a good half of the lessons I took were rooted in you already knowing the material in at least some capacity, which I’ve found to be both super annoying and frustrating considering Im supposed to be making up what I don’t know, not building on what I do. Also considering this is also used in some capacity for at home education, this is a serious design flaw. Additionally,I’ve found that the program does absolutely no actual explanation beyond real world applications, in geometry for example knowing real world applications does nothing if you don’t know the equations in which you are supposed to apply, which I haven’t seen any of. It doesn’t explain how to do any of it, only gives you a few problems to solve with no prior knowledge of how and you’re just supposed to figure it out along the way? With minimal to no instruction? That’s not how education works, and it’s not how lessons should operate. I should be taught how to do it, in whole, then asked to apply it, not one or the other. I’ve also noticed that the one lesson we are given before a mastery test is not accurate to the questions asked on the test, and what I mean is the difficulty and complexity of the questions are higher on the mastery test then what we are actually taught, so even if I do understand the useless lesson the test pulls random stuff out of nowhere. So anyway the only reason this isn’t getting 1 star is because, I did make up my credits quickly, no help to the course itself, but rather google.

OMG I HATE EDMENTUM. it actually made me lose brain cells.... um.. and it makes you learn stuff you already know and it is soo boring and it is no fun at all i actually want to leave school cause of this... like why the f***k should i have to do this... IT LOOKS LIKE ITS FOR FREAKING 3 YEAR OLDS!!!!! its really good at making students hate school and THE PROGRESS CHACEK MAKES YOU DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IF YOU GET BELOW A 80% LIke IT MAKES ME STUPID.... and WHATS WITH THE STUPID GRAPHICS!?!!?!?!?! IS THIS A JOKE?!?! IM IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. LIKE< HELLO!!! 911??? HELP ME IM SUFFERING FROM STUPIDITY AND I CANT GO INTO 7th GRADE CAUSE MY TEST CORES ARE SOO LOW CAUSE OF EDMENTUM! WHY DOES THIS SITE EVEN EXIST!?!?!?!?!?!? IT DESERVES A 0, IN FUN, A 0, IN LEARNING, AND A 1,000000000000000000 THOUSAND MILLION IN STUPIDITY!!!!!!!!!! USE THIS IF YOU WANT CHILDREN TO STAY BACK IN SCHOOL TILL THEY ARE IN THEIR 30'S!!!! AND THOSE 5 STAR REVEIW ARE STUPID PRANKS!!

This course was a joke. My kid was constantly in trouble for not bringing grades up and when she got progress reports they were different from edmentum report as well as the school report. Is she on track, of track or am I just loosing my mind. All year struggle with No credits to show for it!😠 This is the second time at trying this program with same results. If the schools and kids need parent involvement then they should work with us not give us the run around. I have tried to get this straightened out during the year but everyone gave a different reason but none were the same and nothing changed. I want full transparency and to be able to see each assignment and what my child did or didn't do. Where it went wrong or right. Paper assignments were handed out. There was a reason kids with paper assignments do better and have better problem solving skills. the work had Instructions, the assignment and then marked up with the scores. You could see clearly what it said to do and you could see if your kid did it or not you could see which ones were right and which ones were wrong so you can learn from the mistake. I don't feel like they're teaching that I feel like everything on the computer wants it's turned in it's not thought about it again. It's horrible way to teach.
Can we redo 9th grade? Should we? At this rate she will be 30 before she will get out of highschool. 🤦🏼‍♀️😭

It doesn't help me at all. With ANY of my work and mostly have to cheat in order to pass my classes. The progress checks don't explain the assignment clearly. When its clear I'm not on the level of education yet it make me do it over, and over again. Even when there is practices involved the mastery test is completely different than it. Most of the time the program doesn't even work. I know that the only ones to be reading this will either be the students of edmentum. And I understand this is just a program to help mostly teachers so that they could just have students to get on the computers instead of actual book work. But i believe that if you cant actually help students on this program than either shut it down or help fix it. here are a list of suggestions.

1. Whenever a student fails a mastery test give them a similar and easier lesson because its clear that they are not ready for that kind of lesson.

2. Make the mastery tests a little more like the practices in order for a more understanding of what it will take in order to pass that lesson.

3. Make the tutorials a little more interactive. I understand this one will get a lot of hate but in oreder to understnad the lesson a little easier they will have to interact with the lesson a little more.

4. I know this is going to sound dumb but if you know kids than this will make this will make sense.
Since we have to be on this a lot maybe make reward like if you get 100 on 3 mastery tests without having it unlocked then you get 5 hints on any master test.

5. make it lockscreen because kids usually use brainly or quizlet or google teanslate in order to pass. But maybe if its locked on like the golden horseshoe quiz then maybe it will influence kids to socialize with other kids into problem solving in order to find the answer.

6. I feel like if these were made for edmentum's new update it will make it a little better experiance for the learners.
