rdepi218 on 05 Sep 11Regene DePiero 9/5/2011 Overview: This site is geared toward students in math courses. It provides a number of online calculators to help solve anything from equations to derivatives. Its layout is a little confusing after in depth exploration. Some links do not work or content listed is not what is actually provided. Also calculators do not offer step by step explanation which only helps students get an answer, and not learn anything about the process. From a teacher's perspective, not an ideal tool for actually learning math. Content: There is no clear author or sponsor listed. Information appears to be correct but many of the calculators do not return answers for many problems attempted. There are almost no actual math explanations provided, only tables and answers. There is no revision date listed, merely a copyright date at the bottom of the page. There are links to other pages on the site but most are actually ads and not specifically sponsored but the site itself. Several links are broken, however there is a link to contact for more information. Design: This site is confusing to navigate. What appear to be links to other pages on the site are actually ads. Several links either do not work or bring you back to the page you were on. The calculators seem like helpful interactive tools until put into use. They are difficult to use and there is not a good explanation as to how to input the problem so that they are solved properly. Also several calculators don't even return an appropriate answer. Links to "courses" and "lessons" actually only bring you to pages with tables of equations.
