Words of a Maple T.A. User
Professor Kevin Vang, Minot State University
The following quotes were taken from an inteview conducted in 2004 with Professor Kevin Vang of Minot State University in North Dakota, USA.
"I’ve been using Maple pretty regularly for over 20 years, and when I started seeing advertising for Maple T.A. it just seemed natural. And I don’t think there’s anything else out there that has quite the same features or capabilities that Maple T.A. does."
"It’s made it much much easier for me to teach the course online. The students can just take the test and then have it graded instantly. I don’t have to do any of that work and we don’t have the 5 or 6 day time delay of sending papers back and forth through the mail."
"They (the students) like the fact that they can take the test any time and any place they want to."
"It just saves me a whole lot of work … once you have them written (question banks) you can reuse the material over and over again without much additional work."
"That was the feature (free response math) that sold me on the product to begin with."
