  • Application Description

    4.0 Student (formerly Four.Zero) is the premiere coursework, class information, and grade tracking software for Palm OS devices. 4.0Student contains the most feature-rich and robust coursework management functionality of any student software available for the Palm OS computing platform.

    With 4.0Student v5.0 you can now create, modify, delete, print and archive classes from your optional fourostudent.net account then synchronize with 4.0Student on your Palm OS device!

    Class Information Management
    Now you'll have class details such as instructor information, textbooks, grading policies, and detailed course information at your fingertips! You will always have access to vital class information such as class time, location, instructor office hours, phone, and email right when you need it!

    Coursework Management
    With the extensive coursework management functionality you can track homework, quiz, and test details including due dates, scores, textbooks, and even a note for the coursework details. Coursework is sorted chronologically and can be viewed by the class, due date, or type of work so you'll always have instant visibility to the next coursework item due. If you are already using the Palm To Do list or Date Book to track coursework then use 4.0Student to export the coursework automatically to the Date Book or To Do list.

    Grade Tracking and Prediction
    You will never be surprised by a final grade as the 4.0Student grade tracking functionality provides visibility to class grades as well as overall GPA. You can even perform "what if" scenarios to predict your final grade for a class by entering grade predictions on upcoming coursework.

    I love this program it eliminates all the hassle of keeping track of my grades throughtout the semesters. The only problem I ncountered was the inability to enter unlimited assignments per each class. I had to combine some course work to get it all in. Overall, It's worth it.

    I have been using this program for a while. It was the first plam program I got. I started out great, when my classes did not have many assignments. Last semester I had to delete assignment so they would all fit. Overall this is a great program. I love the grade traking. But to could really use a desktop application to improve the ease of entering classes with alot of coursework. also it could use umlimited classwork enteries. I do recomend this program , just realize it's limitations.

    I am a purchased user of this program with 1 Yr access to the web site. The program itself is usually stable. The problem will be the conduit, if you pay for that.

    I am using a commonly used firewall called ZoneAlarm Pro, and it could not sync with the site under the protection of ZAP. I contacted the support team, but I got the impression that they are very irresponsible. We identified the problem, which seemed to be at the firewall, and that was all. No suggestion. No help. The supporter was definitely indicating that the problem did not come from their product, and he did everything required. I call it a bad support.

    There was also an intallation problem in the first period when I used it. I was using it normally for a while, and had to erase it for the reason of unstability caused by another program. Well, I wanna be fair: I cannot ask them to solve the probelem not caused by their product. But when I reinstalled 4.0 Student, it totally refused to work. I could solve the problem eventually, but, think about the fact that this is a timed service.

    Indeed, I think that this program must be rated as at least a 4 star program, but the policy of the company is spoiling the program's position in the market. Let's be honest. There is a well known freeware which does the same job as 4.0 Student does. However, my point is not at money. It is natural that there is a choice between a freeware and a commercial program with a high quality support. But, Handmark is failing to do their job.

    Conceptually a very good program, but if you look in details small things like having to check the done homework twice in todo and in the program itself, no multiple class time settings, no desktop conduit, etc. make me sick of spending too much time on something that should be as quick as possible.
