Evans contributes to this improved question-asking skill to students’ motivation to improve their Curiosity Score along with the feedback Packback provides students while they’re writing their posts. INSTITUTION SUNY OCC DEPARTMENT General Studies COURSE Introduction to Psychology SIZE 30 Students “One thing that I have noticed for all of my students, face-to-face and online, is their incredible improvement in terms of asking good questions. I think they’re very motivated by getting their Curiosity Score up. They also have told me that they appreciate the feedback, both from me and from the folks at Packback… The biggest benefit for me is that it’s really highlighting my students’ interests and my students’ questions as opposed to my interest and my questions, which are good questions, but I want to know really what they are interested in and what affects them personally.” Community Stats QUESTIONS 213 AVG CURIOSITY SCORE 54 RESPONSES 421 AVG WORDS PER POST 75 More Faculty Spotlights
