First tech review

Hey guys. So I feel it is about time for me to review something. This will be based on a dope or nope basis. To explain this reviewing system, it is first impressions only, and each attribute of the product or program is awarded a point dope or a point nope. They are not directly correlated with the end result, only taken into account.
Quizlet recently came out with a new thing called Quizlet live. Quizlet was previously only a great online flashcard making and sharing service. Dope for branding. Quizlet live allows an instructor to quiz a whole class on their knowledge of the material in form of a fun game. It divides the class, all using their own devices, into teams of about 3. This of course is after they pick their name to be shown as each game, which teachers can remove if inappropriate. Nope for not having an adoption to go solo, dope for team dynamic of random team assignment, which is a constant.  Dope for naming system. The teams are randomly named after animals by the system and the game begins. Each team member is shown a set of answers that their team doesn't have. A question is shown simultaneously on all team members screens, and the one with the answer clicks it, and then they have one less answer to choose from in the future. Nope for not being able to answer every time. Dope for having it be like a checklist for each person. If anyone misses a question, their teams progress is reset. Dope for high stakes on each question. When all of the questions have been answered or cards have been paired by one team without error, they win.

So, overall first impressions, it is still in the works and they have a lot of improvements to make. However, even now it is a very useful tool for studying as a group and is very enjoyable for everyone. Overall, it is a dope. Dope as an end result just means it seems better than it is bad, so go check it out yourself. Nope would be I don't even recommend giving it a look.
