Kerry Evans explains how Packback helps students ask better questions
Kerry Evans wants her students to ask strong questions about psychology, and since using Packback, she’s noticed a significant improvement in their ability to do so. 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.

“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.”
