Piazza

What do you like best?

I like the different modes of posting questions.

Tagging only a certain group of people is a nice feature. That is, if a student has doubt only for instructors and not the whole class, he/she can easily apply that specific feature.

What do you dislike?

All the features of Piazza are quite handy. Although, the search feature has some issues on my end. When I try to search for some posts with certain keywords, it does not filter it well. However, if I search with @post_number, it filters out. Remembering the post number all-time the becomes troublesome.

Other than the search feature, managing the dashboard is a little difficult, as there are too many tabs to navigate. A based format may help.

Instead of minor issues, the major features behind the portal makes it fun to use and work with.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Compared to other portals, Piazza is quite helpful in connecting with classmates and solving doubts in group. Especially, in this virtual world right now, it has been very helpful for communication.

Overall, this is a great tool.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I like the anonymous mode of their theme. I am a very shy person and always fumbled on asking questions in class. I used to think about what others would think. With Anonymous mode, I get my doubts solved by asking the lame to the diciest. This works well for every student. The structured and thoughtful format of Piazza makes everyone love it.
