The University of Arizona is dedicated to helping every student succeed, but large class sizes can make it difficult for professors to track their progress. In his classroom, Paul Blowers uses PointSolutions to encourage student participation, promote self-efficacy, facilitate metacognitive training, and conduct formative assessments. Easy integration with PowerPoint and the ability to visualize responses in real-time is also essential in a classroom setting.
UA uses PointSolutions products to ensure all students can voice their opinions in class. Engineering is a challenging academic discipline, and live polls are a great way for professors to discover struggling students before they fall too far behind their peers. Polling is also conducted anonymously, ensuring shy students never slip through the cracks.
Polling is a guaranteed way to increase the energy in any academic setting. UA uses PointSolutions to ask comprehension questions during live class meetings. If the students are divided about 50/50, professors encourage them to discuss their answers with their peers. The result is a palpable buzz as all of the students try to figure out which half of the class was right and why.
Traditionally, instructors are limited to the mid-term, final exam, and research paper as data points to evaluate student performance. UA uses the suite of PointSolutions products to collect dozens of data points per meeting, ensuring that instructors always have the evidence they need to intervene when a student starts falling behind.
