Savvas Realize

If I could put a 0 star review I would but, the scale is only 1-10. The connection is horrible and literately nothing loads. The information on this website is not even accurate and puts a whole lot of useless info in their lessons. If we're learning about WWll I should learn about WWll not how a French guy ate a potato.

I would like to leave a review as a teacher. Savvas Realize for science is simply not usable. First, it is a disorganized mess. It's difficult to use and not intuitive. From a content perspective, the online materials are generally only peripherally related to the content in the book. There is no material that actually supports the content in the book. If you do assign the online content, you can't grade it in the platform. You have to overwrite the auto grade in your external gradebook. It's also extremely slow and difficult to review student work as you can only review one question per screen and everything loads extremely slowly and you can't jump around. It is supposed to auto save work as there is no "save" button, but this works inconsistently and student work is often lost.

From a support perspective, it is very limited. Tech support is hit and miss in quality but they will complain if you submit too many tickets so you have to focus on critical issues and abandon assignments with small issues to stay under the unspoken limit. They advertise curriculum support, but this is simply non-existent. There are also no digital training, support, manuals, help files, etc.

It is almost as bad as IXL. It gave us 20% on the exam while the teacher told us our actual score was 90%. You accidentally click on the space bar, your answer becomes incorrect. Sometimes when you click on the text box it puts it halfway above the screen. And worse of all, it takes all the lesson just loading and what you get is a scream from your teacher in your face. Trust me. Don't believe a parent saying it's good, they're probably the company owner's wife.

This program is insanely difficult to navigate and it doesn't help that each teacher puts things in different places. The only class my son is having issues with is mainly on savvas. I truly hope we don't use it next year.

Website is so very glitchy. It doesn't even seem to try and teach kids, it gives them a story and then an endless amount of questions with little to no actual teaching. Half of the few videos they are shown seemingly don't relate to the topic at hand at all. Overall every single teacher and kid (including my kids) I have asked, dislike this program and agree in saying that it does not help with learning.

This learning site makes so mad. I'm tired of this crap. The loading takes forever and sometimes just doesn't work. The videos have so many problems it would take me a gazillion years just to tell them all. It doesn't save your work, and since the loading takes forever it's such a pain in my booty. Please don't use this for teaching. Just imagining the suffering it will cause makes pity the kids.

The update is $#*!, looks ugly as $#*!, and hard to read, sometimes you have to solve up to 15 questions, if you leave it open for too long without doing anything it will sign you out and you have to re sign in or sometimes open up a new tab. The language is also $#*!, sometimes very unclear, and when typing in answers its really case sensitive but about numbers. TL; DR $#*! savvas realize.

This website gave me geniune headaches after use. I just try to load up some text for my history class, it either works (which barely happens), or it doesn't load for about half an hour to 2 hours. Trying to do anything with this pitiful excuse of a "website" is painful and makes me want to rip my head out. I have never been more frustrated in doing basic tasks online than with this "educational website." If anyone sees this and plans to use person realize, save yourself pain and suffering and more pain and just don't use this horrible, awful, disgusting excuse of a learning website.

Savvas literally just sucks. There is no way of explaining it besides the fact that it sucks. Never use this if you are a teacher. Sue if possible. No way I am letting anyone I know teach this when they are older. Not trying to let this next generation go mad.

Every time I get on to Savvass, nothing loads! No units, no chapters, nothing. I find this very frustrating as I try to teach my class when none of them can have anything load including me! I'm a teacher at Yale by the way.

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.

All of the questions make no sense, and none of them tell you how they want your answer. The question rarely specifies if it wants a fraction or percent, or if it wants you to round one or 4 decimal places. When it does they sneak it in at the bottom of the page in tiny blue font, it feels like the whole website is just out to mark you wrong on a technicality.

I am a teacher of multiple math and science subjects. When I am trying to create a lesson plan and need to use the online textbook, I can count on it to be glitchy and show the spinning wheel of death. The practice problems they create for students (geometry especially) are horrible and 9 times out of 10, I wouldn't even think of assigning them to my students. I go online and find some other worksheet instead because their content is so awful. It's generic public school garbage but worse. I have to use these things embedded in Canvas and I don't wish that on anyone.

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.

Never loads pages, e textbook sucks don't waste your money I am a student writing this and even everyone else says it sucks. Waste of money. Garbage. I'm trying to do a quiz right now and it won't open any of the questions.

Pearson/Savass Realize's problems are fine but seriously, what's wrong with the correcting system? It has one answer and only that one. Even if you write something like 1+1, it says your incorrect and it corrects it to 1+1=2! The sign that comes up after you get something incorrect seems in a really intimating tone like "Wrong!). And the questions are just really unnecessarily long. Seriously, I don't recommend this website, it's a giant waste of time.
