Case Study: Arizona State University improves graduate writing and cuts grading time with Packback Deep Dives

Arizona State University improves graduate writing by a full letter grade with Packback

Arizona State University professor Sean Ryan faced the challenge of helping graduate students, over half of whom were non-native English speakers, transition to graduate-level writing. He was spending excessive time correcting grammar and structure instead of focusing on content, which limited the depth of his feedback. To address this, he implemented Packback's Deep Dives service.

Using Packback Deep Dives provided students with real-time, AI-driven feedback on their writing, which significantly improved their skills. As a result, students improved their writing by a full letter grade on average. For the professor, grading time was reduced by 65%, dropping from 35 to 10 minutes per paper, allowing him to focus on providing higher-order feedback on content.
