Testimonials about WeBWorK from students:
Testimonials about WeBWorK from instructors:
"Our analysis shows that nearly all Rochester students complete each homework set until most problems are correct."
"The Calculus classes went very well. I can't get over how important the 'e-mail the instructor' button is."
"A Rutgers study found the "correlation between attempts and percentage of problems solved was a remarkable .944 suggesting that once students be- gan a problem they persisted until they had solved it" (Hirsch and Weibel, 2003)
A three-part study at Virginia and Rochester reveals thatWeBWorK "spawned noticeable changes in persistence and determination when it came to work- ing through assignments"(Davison, 2004).
"WeBWorK seems to cause students to work harder on their homework and it also encourages them to work together more closely than they would otherwise. It is most gratifying to walk through our study center and see groups of eager and animated students discussing the meaning of vari- ables, equations, functions, derivatives, and integrals. Since WeBWorK has an easy and ective feedback mechanism it also encourages and intensifies interaction of the students with their instructor."

Dartmouth College:
“ I can fix my mistakes while the problem is fresh in my mind. ”

From instructors...
Dartmouth College:
“ The WeBWorK project not only provides an extremely useful pedagogical tool, but as an open source project is not bound to one textbook or publisher, and so embodies the flexibility to be tailored to each adopter"s needs. No commercial product can offer this kind of fine tuning. I have heard publishers pitch their products which have similar capabilities, but they inevitably pale by comparison. ”
