Lizardi says that while better test scores are excellent, what this shows her was more cognitive development in students using Packback. INSTITUTION Maricopa – Mesa Community College DEPARTMENT Judicial Studies COURSE Victimology and Crisis Management SIZE 30 Students “The reason I am enjoying my experience with Packback is because I see the cognitive level of my students going up. As I’m doing a class comparison to last semester, I’ve already noticed that the test scores with the class using Packback are higher than the test scores of the class that didn’t. That automatically shows, there’s just more cognitive development going on. And I can also tell, from the level of the questions that the students ask, that they’re asking about things that they want to know the answers to. And the response questions, you can tell, are a lot higher when it’s a question that builds curiosity.” Community Stats QUESTIONS 115 AVG CURIOSITY SCORE 73.8 RESPONSES 269 AVG WORDS PER POST 109 More Faculty Spotlights You might be interested in… Implementing Technology in College Classrooms When Dr. Kaston Anderson-Carpenter steps in front of his psychology class at Michigan State University, he… Read More CEO Mike Shannon at the ASU GSV Summit “We are reversing education’s fast-answer epidemic, reviving the life skill of asking great questions by… Read More
