 Each year, this product keeps getting better August 29, 2007

I have a 16 year old son. We made a decision when he was 5 to get new copies of Encarta each year he was in school instead of a hard bound encyclopedia. He was given an award from John's Hopkins university when he was in eighth grade, and has attended classes at both John's hopkins and Stanford ever since. The Encarta series has improved every year, and was very good to begin with.
As a professional educator myself, I very highly recommend it as a cost effective investment to have available for children growing up.

I was extremely impressed about how you could take and put in home work assignment a teacher has hand written and not in a book and it broke it down with the correct answer. The rest of the program can be used for any one is going to high school or college. It is a great asset and very useful tool for writing to math. I recommend this program for any one, I wish I had heard about it earlier when my son was in junior high, it is awesome.

A lot of very useful tools for my high school sophomore. The user interface is not very intuitive on where to find what tool you are looking for. Once you find the tool the rest is quite good.
Great for College and Graduate Students- Graphing Calculator the best feature June 28, 2008

Ok- I've been using this product for a couple of years and it's proved indispensable. Granted, most of the homework templates are useless past the 6th grade...but the graphing calculator alone is worth buying this product. I am able to use my laptop on team projects for business calculus and business statistics classes-- it's a lot easier to swith between Student's graphing calculator and Excel than it is to squint at a little black and grey 'etch-a-sketch' screen (handheld graphing calculator). The calculator gives you the answer in both decimal and fraction form (makes everybody jealous). It has an equation solver, integrating, solving matrices, permutations, variance analysis are soooo much easier with this than navigating through 50 menus on your TI-84. You get a nice large work area to input your problems... Oh, and did I mention you can copy and paste your problems into Word-- and then edit them with equation editor? (another time saver)--- AND you can save the 'worksheets' with all of the problems you're working on- another great feature if you're going to re-use the same equation with different variables.
Ok- as for the other stuff.... the translator feature is great- It has a Spanish, French, Italian, and German dictionary- shows you similarly spelled words in case you're unsure of the whole word. The unit conversion tool is pretty cool, but not a huge feature. (I use google's coversion tool and m-w.com more often for dictionary lookup). Lastly, most of my classes don't allow me to cite Wikipedia in my papers- so I use the Encarta encyclopedia as a source. The encyclopedia offers interactive maps and video clips with most of the articles-- the pictures are hi-res too if you need to illustrate your document..... This software is worth every penny- though I'd wait for it to go on sale at Best Buy in August for $20 (always goes on sale before school). The other software that I use in conjunction with Student is OneNote.

Microsoft student with Encarta premium 2008 is a great resource for all students. It has all kinds of tools to help you write essays do math homework and help you with all aspects of schoolwork. This software is a definite buy thanks to its price, and indeed great amount of information that it comes with this software is a great buy, and it's even better if you buy it with Britannica 2008 it will give you just a huge amount of information as well as resources to help you in school.
