"So far it has been a terrible experience" 0.5/5 What do you like best about McGraw-Hill Connect? Nothing thus far. I have had nothing but trouble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about McGraw-Hill Connect? I have taken two classes which utilize Honorlock and it didn't work for either class. It was glitchy during my first class before ultimately not working at all, It ends my session after a few seconds of starting the test, I ended up taking my exams on paper. My second class Honorlock didn't work at all and set me back over a week and counting working with the instructor to figure things out, back to paper on campus. pretty much defeats the purpose of taking an online course. I have exhausted all of their live chat troubleshooting steps, Very limited, nothing worked, I even tried the computer in the library on campus. I sent an email to which they replied they elevated me to their tier II team, whatever that means, but I have yet to hear back from them. In the meantime I'm jumping through hoops trying to schedule tests on campus and falling further behind. I really wish my school had chosen a different proctoring system. Honorlock has been a huge hassle that could potentially result in me having to drop this class which is a prerequisite for the class im taking next semester. This has been a major distraction that has already negatively impacted my grades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about McGraw-Hill Connect? I'm on day 6 of my MBA course, and after not being able to access the textbook with inclusive access through McGraw Hill Connect until DAY 4 of my course, I'm now on DAY 6 and suddenly receiving "ERROR XXX - RMS USER SYNC ISSUE" errors preventing me from accessing the textbook or quiz entirely. My quiz is due tonight and this terrible program is directly preventing me from completing my coursework. Not even 1 week in, and I've experienced nothing but issue after issue. If you can avoid using McGraw Hill Connect, do it like your life depends on it. This tool is completely unreliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great resource, subpar support" 3.5/5 What do you like best about McGraw-Hill Connect? The way the online text books integrate with the hard copy textbooks. The software makes it easy to use both in a way that supplements learning for those who've learned better online and those who learn better in a book. The crossover is just impressive because the software is easy to use in the content is easy to understand and learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about McGraw-Hill Connect? There is, unfortunately, a communication disconnection between schools and this publisher. Because textbooks are sold from the bookstore of a school via an access code, McGraw-Hill support cannot assist with things like platform access because they did not directly sell the product to the student. When there is a problem with the system, it becomes very difficult for a student to keep up with classwork when they cannot get technical support from the publisher.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/21/2023 "Innovative student education supplementing software" 4.5/5 What do you like best about McGraw-Hill Connect? Connect is a very innovative tool that helps our students in higher classes to give them extra knowledge on their subjects like Maths and Computers. The concepts that are presented in their course structure, are very easy to understand, such that the teaching in classroom is complemented by the courses available on Connect. The concepts are very simplified in the course structure in form of video tutorials with modules like Algebra and Graphs. The material is drilled into the brains so well, that our students have started performing very well after we incorporated Connect. The homework and gradebook features are doing very good for our kids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about McGraw-Hill Connect? In some videos, the instructors use language that has a little accent to it, which does make it a little difficult to understand for students who are from rural background. Other than that, everything seems to be fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is McGraw-Hill Connect solving and how is that benefiting you? McGraw-Hill Connect is bringing the global standard of education in our school to our students. It is helping our students compound their knowledge base by the course structure being followed by thousands of students and schools across the world. We have seen amazing results for our students who have started using Connect, in a way that they were able to retain information in a far better way after an entire year than the students who did not use Connect at all. We are planning to incorporate Connect in other classes as well now. The best features are of homework and assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about McGraw-Hill Connect? Users cannot pause and resume certain practice tests when there is a need, you need to finish what you started. Even though it simulates real world test scenarios, during many situations this could a pain in the neck. Another thing is about the technical glitches we endure sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is McGraw-Hill Connect solving and how is that benefiting you? While using a hardcover or paper back as primary study resources, McGraw-Hill takes the study experiences to the next level by creating flash cards, quick Q&As and summarizing the concepts.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about McGraw-Hill Connect? everything, I constantly get logged out while i'm trying to read the textbook, probably 4 times in the past half hour. Constantly making me close the tab and log in all over again. The user interface is unbearable and it wont let you open another tab to read the texbooks while doing practice questions. It asked my to contact customer support if I experienced any issues only to show me their United States offices and a general support number that would probably push me over the edge if I tried calling.
