Making me take a survey as I am stressing to enter my attendance code is very ignorant!!
TopHat makes learning fun!

I wish all my classes used TopHat. I feel really engaged with the learning process when I practice concepts in class with TopHat.
Unnecessary

I am currently using tophat and I would say it’s annoying as can be. Yea the reps would reply to you and they are helpful and try their best to help you but how the answer key is set up, is extremely stupid. Many times I submit my answers, it kept telling me it’s wrong and I was right the whole time. This platform allows you to waste time and energy. This platform is stupid. I hate it and I would tell anyone if their professor is using tophat not to take the class at all. I have been stuck on one question for 3 days and I gave up. I would never recommend to anyone.

Great app for learning at my own pace and being able to go over material as many times as I’d like to.
it’s so slow holy crap
•.•cat•.•
the fact that i had to pay MONEY for a access code, and then it’s this slow ???? it’s not even the app, the website is even worse. seriously, i feel like i was scammed. doing homework takes me about 4-5 hours to complete :))
Great in theory, terrible in execution. Not like I had a say in my purchase anyways...
An Unhappy "Customer"
Yes, I agree that teachers need to hold their students accountable for attending class. But when you end up getting questions wrong because the app won’t allow you to submit answers, there’s a clear problem there. It has happened to me numerous times and I consider myself a good student in class, but constantly end up missing “clicker questions”. (Especially when your professor only gives you 20-30 seconds to answer a question and you can’t even answer in time). My chemistry class at my university is centered around this app, and to have to pay for a subscription service with so many bugs to play a role in determining my grade is entirely unfair. If you are a professor reading this considering using Top Hat for your lecture, please look elsewhere, and avoid placing unnecessary stress on your students!
Costs too much

Just hate that I had to spend 50 bucks for the different features. I don’t understand why it has to be so expensive. Most of us are truly struggling financially and if we have a job we hate to spend our $8-10/hour checks on something like this.
Money Scam

I would always use the website on my Mac in class so I could split the screen and take notes. it would never load, I would always be three-four slides behind, and my quiz questions would hardly ever load in time for me to answer them. I figured I’d just start using the app, but I have the same issues on the app that I have on my Mac. the connection is always “poor”, and my professor can’t ever use it either - and will insist that the students are taking up the bandwidth and are causing the app to crash and lag (?? don’t know where he got that from), costing us our attendance points. and I know I’m not the only one, whether it be in my class or across everyone who has bought the app, that has these issues daily. if I have to pay this much for an app that simply takes *attendance* and gives mini class quizzes, I expect it to work 100% of the time, flawlessly. the rest of my university uses a free attendance app and I have never had an issue with it - ever. drop your prices, and fix your interface. this app is a whole mess, a money scam, and absolutely ridiculous. if they have to charge for the app to keep it running and whatnot, why not $.99, $2.99, $4.99?? where did the $27 and $50 come from? the people buying it are college students with little income who are forced to by their professors. incredibly pathetic for something that never works.
Top hat makes college harder

Top hat should send push notifications every time there’s a top hat question. That way when I’m skipping class i know when to do the questions
