Savvas RealizeReviews 341

So I was doing my assignment and it was hard so my teacher said we can use google and then I used google but I got it wrong.

I am a 7th grader, and my school started using Savvas, as opposed to I-ready. At first we were fine, then the site would not work for HALF OF THE SCHOOL FOR 3 WEEKS!

The whole time, we were told to clear all of our data from the computer. (As if that would help.) This ding-dang program caused us so much trouble, all while our grades were dropping from, "Not doing our work." The teachers even said they were talking to Savvas about it, but it still was another week before it worked.

Basically, don't use Savvas.

The app sucks because even the calculator got the same answer and when I was done I put that answer and it said it was wrong but after I was done and pressed check answer it showed that answer.

Savvas does not tell you how to do the work, it gives you a worksheet with no explanation. The grading is way to specific if you add a capital or misspell something it counts as wrong. I don't understand why my school is using a 1.22 star rated program but if they don't use something else soon, I am going to fail math. Savvas sucks and should be burned at the stake. If i could rate this site a 0 i would.

Something simple but I got an answer right. Then I clicked a similar question by accident. So maybe you should do "are you sure you wanna do similar question?" That be better thanks.

So even though I ordered a book online with a credit card, and it was a digital book, the order is still a manual process on their end. My book got "held" up and someone dropped the ball and didn't click a button or something. My son let me know he never got the email and he needed the book for school, so I called the Customer Service. They said it will now ship in "some" time. I'm like what does "Some" time mean? It's a digital book, shouldn't it be immediate? All they could tell me was "some" time. Poor English and not really understanding the questions. Smh
So in a waiting pattern for the digital book to arrive in "some time"?

Practices and even tests often include material that has not been learnt yet in the unit. Horrible platform to use in case you decide to create online tests. The photos that have been uploaded show my point. These are screenshots of an 8-5 practice in Geometry that involves the basics of trigonometry. Two of the ten problems require knowing law of cosines. I have seen problems such as this that don't match the unit be included in tests. This is just an easy way for teachers to give their students work to do and get their paycheck without trying.

Which $#*! creates this $#*! I wish that person went to hell idk why just torture they think they know every thing in a frew $#*!ing words.

The $#*! who createes this app needs to go to hell the question dont even match what we learn just why tf just why

Savas makes me want rip my hair out i wish it was shut down and i think we could just do math books!

It resets my progress on lessons ALL THE TIME, keeps saying its not saving and operates slowly, would rate lower if it was possible.

Savvas is terrible.Savvas is very confusing.Sometime,me and my mom are not able to figure out the questions.I have no Idea why the school district uses savvas.Sometimes,I want to kill savas ¨easy¨bridge.I don´t recommend you to use this app

I'm currently using this source as an online history textbook, and I couldn't be more infuriated at how inconvenient the UI is. First, I have to open thousands of tabs to even access a textbook section, and then when I hover over one of the keywords for my notes they're in Spainsih? It honestly seems like Savvas is trying to punish users for wanting an ounce of convenience. It's either I bring a 2-pound textbook from school to home, or manually type in text from the textbook (because Savvas doesn't allow copy and paste, god forbid students copy down things for notes) to google translate one by one. All I want to do is write my history notes quickly.

I cannot believe Savvas Realize site is "award winning! " First of all, the site is so piece meal. You have to go through so many clicks and open everything separately and you cannot hit the x to get out of things like all other sites. You have to click the back button and go back through each page until you get to what you want. To open the teacher or student edition, you have to open a different page. Each time you hit any button or open anything, it shows you those circling dots! I have lost so much time from my life trying to navigate this site. I, as a teacher, could be using that precious time doing something else. In addition, there are so many things that are computer only! For example, the quick checks are only online! They do not even provide you with a book with them. The only convenience is that it corrects things on line, however, kids need to do those on paper so we can go over it. Otherwise they do it and then never go back to it and cannot see their mistakes. And the way question are stated in the book and especially on the tests is so difficult and confusing. It sets kids up for failure! Are we testing kids on the concept we just taught them, or on reading and trying to figure out what is being asked. Our teachers were given the choice to go back to the old book or do this newest version of Savvas Mathematics (Envision) and most grade levels are currently using the old math series. Definitely go with another publisher if you can. You will have much more planning time for other things.

I read a lot of these reviews and at first was agreeing with everyone's sentiment that savvas is terrible. I am experiencing everything you are. Then I thought about it, I have used this for 5 years...Why have I used it so long if it is that bad? 1. cause the school I work for pays for it lol. But 2. I need examples of the math subject I am teaching. There are certain topics I know to stay away from but there are topics I have no idea how to relate to real world examples. This does a great job at that. I will agree the online component is annoying at times because the answer will be 1100 for example and Ill have a student see on their calculator 1`100 and put it in and get the wrong answer. That's frustrating for me and them. Also some of the wording is bad but overall a solid product that can help guide you when it comes to what you should and could teach and in which order.

The website keeps telling me that something went wrong and won't let me complete my assignments. I also can't finish some of them because it makes you "interact" with them and even after I read everything and answered all the questions, it says I didn't complete them.
