Insufferable
Insufferable. The website is incredibly slowly and badly paced (in terms of actually advancing through unnecessarily long tasks), and there is no way to change that. Lets take the Times Tables task, which appears in the end of all homeworks, and is mandatory. It has several minigames, which are intended to be fun (but are not). When you actually have to do the mathematical work, the Rapid Fire rounds are timed, and there is no way to change that. Annoying, could make some students anxious. However, it is not as bad as "Talk and Learn", which can be played both as a separate exercise, or a mandatory part of the Times Tables games. It makes you either listen to a TTS voice, speed of which you cannot change, or a *slowly* appearing text with an answer. But that is not it. After you press continue, you must wait SEVERAL SECONDS, with a prompt to "repeat the answer in your head". NOBODY needs this countdown, aside for 1.5 people that do. All it takes is for developers to make things CUSTOMIZABLE. Isn't the point of the website to be a PERSONALIZED learning experience? As to main tasks: they could be, and were worse. Bookwork checks are not mandatory anymore, questions can sometimes be ever so slightly confusing, help videos are either hit or miss (most of the time their thumbnail is more helpful than the video itself), and people voicing them sound like they are held under a gunpoint. Overall, what can be improved? Make pace of the website customizable, make Times Tables optional. You may also give an option to disable bookwork checks altogether.
