Case Study: Louisiana State University achieves better student engagement and faster feedback with Kritik

John Hopkins Designing an Engaging STEM Learning Experience

The vendor Kritik was implemented at Louisiana State University to address challenges faced by Professor John Hopkins in his large General Chemistry courses. His primary challenges were maintaining high student engagement and managing the heavy grading workload associated with over 400 students.

Kritik's peer assessment solution increased student engagement by making them active participants in the evaluation process and built critical-thinking skills. For the instructor, Kritik significantly reduced the grading burden, with only 4.27% of assignments requiring his intervention. The platform also provided students with incredibly quick feedback, averaging just 1.8 days, and improved grading accuracy through its calibration activity.
