Students Engaging with Readings Like Never Before

“Class discussions are a very important component of the grade, but also of the class as a whole. And even though I have been providing students with questions, guiding questions for their reflections on the readings, I’ve never had a class that engaged with the readings, and students engaged one another with questions and responses as actively as this group this semester has on Packback. I am really pleased with the way that the students are making the best use of Packback. They’re asking thought-provoking questions that demonstrate their genuine engagement with the readings, and students are asking very good questions, but also responding to each other’s questions, which indicates a high level of critical thinking and sophisticated thinking as well. It’s been a very positive experience so far.”
