message: Where is it documented that 9000 students signed a petition regarding WebAssign's grading tolerance?  It would be nice to know the type of petition (paper, on-line, etc), whether the students signing it were actual WebAssign users, etc.  Otherwise it isn't really up to Wikipedia's standards.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.133.42.206 (talk) 19:35, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism 

message: I updated this article to include data I received, from WebAssign, after having problems with it as a student: namely that it's not friendly toward students who go to school and work because the WebAssign servers slow down terribly in the evening, and WebAssign offers no help with their product on the weekends--to use it successfully, you have to use it during working hours, and that's when I work.
The WebAssign people took down all of my comments.
I also noted that WebAssign often marked wrong answers right and, less often, marked right answers wrong. For instance, it might mark t/2 as incorrect, but (1/2)t as correct, when they're the same answer. I was taking a calculus course and many of the answers were complex--I spent hours laboring over WebAssign problems I'd gotten right, only to realize that WebAssign simply wanted parentheses in different places.
In fact, they've taken down all negative comments, including some about the product being difficult for disabled users. Talk about heartless bastards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MalabarClay (talk • contribs) 23:12, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Major Edits

message: This article is clearly written only for the people who make this product. The product is incredibly poor, and all sections that address this have been removed. In addition, the corporation has openly edited the article for their own benefit. Really, all of the criticism is relevant and as long as it can be sourced it should be included. The sources that are currently used are not all primary sources and two out of five are from the company's website. If this article cannot be turned into something more than a poorly-sourced advertisement, it should be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.205.250.4 (talk) 16:59, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
