Cons	No answers on this topic	It would be great if the exams could have settings to set-up start and finish times. The grade book still needs improvement in the formatting. Incentivized RN Ricardo Nogueira Senior lecture Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The initial rollout of Top Hat was not without its issues. Top Hat was very responsive, and even sent representatives to be onsite during the first couple of days of the start of class to help instructors and students. They were very knowledgeable about the product, but the sales team was pushy at times. At several times, we had to inform them not to reach out to instructors directly to pitch their service while we were still piloting. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
