Great resource to augment student learning

Khan Academy is a helpful study guide for Biology students, although its content substantially mirrors many of the concepts covered in standard Biology textbooks. Yet, it remains a valuable resource, especially for students desiring added challenges or extra practice. The quizzes provided offer an effective way to solidify knowledge and assess understanding. Additionally, it caters well to average students seeking more in-depth insights into Biology or needing further explanations beyond the classroom teachings. Furthermore, it is a supportive tool for students requiring additional help or seeking to boost confidence before exams.

It was horrible! These ¨ assignments ¨ are just tests, they teach nothing. They can take forever and do not really come out with a result. Teachers, stay away from it, trust me your students are suffering.

I think this is a great resource, in particular for Physics and Math courses. The pre-made practice problems are a great way to give students extra practice without having to search or make my own, and the automatic grading saves me hours of reviewing individual assignments. There are multiple different Physics courses on Khan Academy (I teach Physics). This is so helpful because if one course does not have what I'm looking for in particular, I can search in the other courses and will likely find what I need. I wish some of the sections were more in-depth, or that they were consolidated in some way. Perhaps practice problems could be customizable, seeing as the problems given to students are randomly selected from a group of options. Some practice sets are half composed of problems that I want my students to practice, but I cannot assign them because my students haven't seen the other half yet. Overall, this website is a fantastic tool to supplement learning done in the classroom and at home. I've had great experiences with this tool both as an educator and as a student myself, when I went through high school.
