Khan academy was the only educational resource that I found tremendously helpful. Every single lesson was easy to understand and helped you figure things out. The topics were articulated beautifully, the reading sections were great and for some reason I can’t describe explained as well as a person talking to you. The dark mode that’s being implemented right now is also really nice. It’s easy on the eyes and everything looks “smooth” and good. Another good point is when your reading information from the “articles” there sections that you can tap if you don’t understand, these are really helpful. What’s even better is when your solving a problem and you get it wrong, the app shows you step by step how to solve it. This sets khan academy miles apart from other learning platforms. The fact that this is a FREE learning application is 100% better than 90% of the PAID learning apps/tools is a steal. I fully suggest that everyone donates to support this app. And if your reading wondering if you should download it, I strongly suggest you to do so. This app is just ✨the best free learning tool ever✨and I’d go as far to say it competes with paid platforms as well. It’s just easily one of the top places to learn. I can’t believe all of it is free, so khan academy thank you for the free learning.

This is a great application, and it costs you absolutely nothing. However, if you are going to delve into Multivariable Calculus or other subjects that require you to use “special” characters such as Euler’s number e, which they use often, to enter your answers to the posed problems in the practice, then good luck trying to enter it. For instance, if you are asked to find the gradient of a function f(x y z) = y^2*z +e^x Then it will be . There is no button for the number e to be found, so how can one enter the answer? You can’t! That is only one example of something that needs to be addressed. Your answer is marked as completely incorrect all because because they didn’t provide you with the means to enter the correct answer correctly. There is no way to simply type the number e on the provided keyboard that pops up. I searched and searched their help files, but that was to no avail. I tried to copy and paste it from another keyboard, and that proved futile as well. This is the ONLY reason that I didn’t give this five stars!! There is a lot that one can learn from Khan Academy, and please get me wrong. I love this app and have used it for years. I have donated to their funding drives, and if you use it, then you should consider doing so.

I’m currently working towards my second doctorate and all along the way khan academy has been there for me. Whether you’re using it as a stand-alone learning tool to try and wrap your head around a difficult subject, or need something more user-friendly and understandable to supplement an actual formal course, you couldn’t ask for anything better than khan academy. Their instructors are adept at making even some of the most complicated subjects with high attrition rates relatively easy to understand and breaking things down into short lessons that teach you concepts (or intuitions as Sal would call them!) which make learning the smaller details much easier. I’ll often watch a few khan academy videos to get a good general idea of what a subject is about before diving into the bullet points and materials (PowerPoints, textbooks, etc) offered by my formal professors in courses, and I’ve found this to be very effective in my own learning journey. As someone who has taken A LOT of college courses in my life, I couldn’t more highly recommend khan academy.
