“ Even when you answer a question incorrectly, Achieve tells you WHY it was wrong. It was really helpful for my learning of Biochemistry.”
Biochemistry student, 2023
“Achieve’s problems are very useful. The software knows what I did wrong, it’s very reliable and is good at guiding my thinking.”
Physics student, 2023
“ I really like that I can monitor students in my class to see if they are actively working on in-class assignments I give on Achieve. I give participation points based on their effort in this area. They also have graded homework and quizzes on Achieve. I like that they have the option to use multiple attempts on a question so that there is no excuse of ‘I clicked on the wrong answer by accident.’”
