Homework with Targeted Feedback
Achieve homework goes beyond just auto-grading student homework. Through targeted feedback, Achieve Homework also helps students identify misconceptions in real time and directs students to e-book and other study resources like detailed solutions to help support student understanding. Many questions allow for the randomization of problem variables, which encourages collaboration between students to work similar, but not identical questions.
Goal-setting & Reflection Surveys
Goal-setting and Reflection Surveys (GRS) help students build effective learning habits while giving instructors valuable insights to support student success. Based on learning research, Achieve includes five surveys designed to be used at key points throughout the term to encourage reflection and guide progress.
Students
- Build self-directed learning and metacognitive skills by setting meaningful course goals and reflecting on progress throughout the term.
- Strengthen motivation and confidence by developing personalized strategies for achieving learning goals.
Instructors
- Gain insights beyond academic performance to better understand the factors influencing student success.
- Identify opportunities for early intervention and connect students with campus resources that support success and retention.
