Case Study: Tarleton State University improves feedback timeliness and writing skills with Kritik

Improving Timeliness of Feedback in Writing-intensive Courses

Professor Stan Korotchenko of the Department of Criminal Justice at Tarleton State University faced a challenge in his writing-intensive courses. Providing timely, quality feedback on lengthy student papers was a slow process, often taking weeks. This delay meant students were not receiving critiques in time to apply the feedback to their next assignments, hindering the development of their writing skills.

To solve this, Tarleton State University implemented Kritik's peer assessment platform. Using Kritik's detailed rubrics, students learned to evaluate each other's work, which drastically improved the timeliness and personalization of feedback. This solution reduced the professor's grading burden and equipped students with valuable critical thinking and communication skills, making them more marketable for their future careers.
